CloudFront's "Origin Path" does not work with S3 Static Website's 302 redirects

Question

I have an S3 bucket with static website hosting with the following file:

production/pages/index.html

I have created a CloudFront distribution pointing to this bucket, with the Origin Path set to "/production".
When navigating to *xxx.cloudfront.net/pages/* I can correctly see my index.html file.

When navigating to *xxx.cloudfront.net/pages* (without the trailing slash), the S3 static site hosting sends a 302 redirect to *xxx.cloudfront.net/production/pages/*, which ignores the Origin Path and returns a 404.

How can I make my system work to be able to have the redirection to *xxx.cloudfront.net/pages/* instead?

I was able to solve it by having the following redirection on my S3 static website. Not the best solution because this causes 2 redirections, but it works.

```
[
    {
        "Condition": {
            "KeyPrefixEquals": "production/production/"
        },
        "Redirect": {
            "HostName": "mydomain.com",
            "HttpRedirectCode": "302",
            "Protocol": "https",
            "ReplaceKeyPrefixWith": ""
        }
    }
]
```
