Redirect Status Code is always 302. Is it possible to create redirect to external url?

[ratkorle]

Hi all, can anyone help me with redirects, I have AWS S3 hosted website and I am using gatsby-plugin-s3.
I am getting the redirects data from Sanity and then I am creating redirects using createRedirect() inside gatsby-node.js:
However the StatusCode generated in .cache/s3.routingRules.json is always 302.

I would like to achieve:

1. 301 and 302 redirects
2. Redirect to external url : mysite.com/test -> google.com

Example redirect data:

[
 {
  _id: 'b6b1a54e-9642-4509-a691-9b183d15b681',
  _createdAt: '2022-01-18T15:25:57Z',
  fromPath: '/test/',
  statusCode: '301',
  toPath: '/services/'
},
{
  _id: 'f8f1c364-0305-4848-9f89-750d8eaadcee',
  _createdAt: '2022-01-19T13:49:56Z',
  fromPath: '/test2/',
  statusCode: '302',
  toPath: 'www.google.com'
} 
]

Here is how I create redirects in gatsby-node.js:

 if (redirects && redirects.length > 0) {
    redirects.forEach((redirect) => {
      createRedirect({
        fromPath: redirect.fromPath,
        toPath: redirect.toPath,
        statusCode: parseInt(redirect.statusCode),
        force: true,
      });
    });
  }

This how the gatsby-plugin-s3 is configured in gatsby-config.js (listed first in the plugins list):

 {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-s3`,
      options: {
        bucketName: `client-bucket-${process.env.GATSBY_STAGE}-${process.env.GATSBY_LANG}`,
        region: "eu-west-1",
        customAwsEndpointHostname: "s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
        generateRoutingRules: true,
        generateRedirectObjectsForPermanentRedirects: true,
      },
    },
