gsutil setwebcfg -m index.html -e 404.html doesn't work

I'm having a strange problem with making a bucket on google cloud storage open to the public (as a static website).

I created a bucket called fixparser.targetcompid.com. I followed google's procedure of adding an identifying html file to my existing host.

I am able to copy my htmls/css/js/etc. into the bucket and even view the index.html page when I provide the full url: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/fixparser.targetcompid.com/index.html

However, I can't get the index file if I only provide the general website address: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/fixparser.targetcompid.com

Following is what I see when I set MainPageSuffix and NotFoundPage:


$ ./gsutil setwebcfg -m index.html -e 404.html gs://fixparser.targetcompid.com
Setting website config on gs://fixparser.targetcompid.com/...


$ ./gsutil setwebcfg -m index.html -e 404.html gs://fixparser.targetcompidxxxx.com
Setting website config on gs://fixparser.targetcompidxxxx.com/...
GSResponseError: status=404, code=NoSuchBucket, reason=Not Found.


$ ./gsutil getwebcfg gs://fixparser.targetcompid.com
Getting website config on gs://fixparser.targetcompid.com/...

-WebsiteConfiguration>
        -MainPageSuffix>
                index.html
        -/MainPageSuffix>
        -NotFoundPage>
                404.html
        -/NotFoundPage>
-/WebsiteConfiguration>
(I don't know how else to format this xml snippet)

The Google Cloud Storage website configuration will only affect requests directed to CNAME aliases of c.storage.googleapis.com. In this particular example, you probably want to set up a CNAME alias for fixparser.targetcompid.com to point to c.storage.googleapis.com. Once you do that, opening http://fixparser.targetcompid.com will load the index.html page you set up with the gsutil setwebcfg command.
