title: How can I get query strings in my Amazon S3 static website?
body: <p>I am hosting a static website on Amazon S3. Some of my client-side javascript parses the query strings to control the HTML. This works fine locally, but on the S3-hosted version, the query strings seem to get dropped from the request.</p>
  
  <p>My motivation for using query strings is that I want to be able to pass state between pages based on what the user did on the previous page.</p>
  
  <p>Is this approach possible? Did I violate the "static" requirement for S3 static websites?</p>
  
  <p>I can't seem to find any mention of general query strings in the S3 docs, aside from the <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/dev/RESTAuthentication.html?r=5014" rel="noreferrer">authentication stuff</a>, which I don't think solves my problem.</p>
