Redirects

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

The Amplify documentation indicates that users can redirect based on region. This was working but is no longer. With the redirect below my site is serving requests requests from RU:

Please address this issue.

Thanks for the report. We have prioritized a fix and will let you know when its rolled out.

[swaminator]

@mbacchi we rolled out a fix. Can you verify please?

[mbacchi]

Thanks for the update @swaminator. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to fix the issue for me, I'm still receiving traffic from RU.

@swaminator - is there an ETA for a fix here? This issue is blocking our team from launching a critical feature for our customers

[mbacchi]

@swaminator I believe an update would be fitting. This is a 6 week old ticket that reported a longstanding issue for a feature you have claimed support in your product for years. Doesn't seem to me that this is "working as intended". Please let us know if and when a solution is coming.

Meantime, I'm working on a replacement for amplify using an S3 hosted site fronted by a Cloudfront distribution that I control myself. Wish it didn't come to this but weeks between responses is sorta unacceptable.

@mbacchi apologies for the delay. We pushed another fix can you try re-deploying your app?

@swaminator Is it necessary to re-deploy? Will it not just work with my existing deployment?

[swaminator]

Yes please redeploy.

[mbacchi]

I redeployed on Nov 19 and since then there have been no hits from the redirected country.

[swaminator]

@mbacchi is this fixed for you?

[mbacchi]

@swaminator I did respond on 11/25, and at that time it was fixed. I'm guessing it's not a coincidence that you asked this today. Oddly for the first time in months today I saw that there was a request from a country that I have a region based redirect.

[swaminator]

@mbacchi sorry still confused.. did the redirect work for you?

I think it is working now, sorry to hijack but is it possible to add more than one country in the country code field I see no examples for Gen 2. In Gen 1 or cloudfront you can have an array.
