Are you talking about the ready-to-use directory browser ?

If it is on your own code you just have to check for the URI on the
callback routine and return back the appropriate answer (404, or a nice
error message). Remember there is no direct relation between URI and
files in AWS.

That's a very nice testimonial. Thanks.

Which AWS web site ? For sure it is not discontinued, I have a page on
my home page in french about AWS and the main AWS Web page is at the
Libre site. See:
