there's actually a way to do this with OAI, you just have to configure the html5 routing stuff using CloudFront distribution rules instead of configuring the S3 bucket as a static website. As a nice side effect, you can also enforce https<>https<>https communication all the way through the S3<>Cloudfront<>world chain, which isn't possible to force when the S3 bucket is configured for static site hosting. I have about 75% of a blog post about how to do this, it's not terribly complicated. This comment just gave me the motivation to finish it, I'll post it on HN when it's ready.
