CloudFront origin configuration and HTTPS #152

s3_website currently configures a CloudFront distribution with a S3 bucket origin.

However, the origin protocol policy is set by the tool to Match Viewer instead of HTTP only.

This is a problem because HTTPS connections will then trigger HTTPS connections between CloudFront and S3. This causes an error as S3 buckets configured as websites are only reachable through HTTP.

If HTTP only is always the best option for s3_website users, then we should change origin protocol policy to that.

Can we be sure that it is always the best option?

The problem is that S3 does not support HTTPS, so a CloudFront distribution that has a Match Viewer policy will always result in an error.

Okay, now I understand perfectly.

I just upgraded the configure-s3-website gem and added it into the s3_website version 2.8.1.

Does that version solve this issue?
