Check your CloudFront configuration. This will occur because of below reasons:

  1. The request is initiated over HTTP, but the CloudFront distribution is configured to only allow HTTPS requests.
  2. The requested alternate domain name (CNAME) isn't associated with the CloudFront distribution.

Posting my solution here because this was an arduous, weekend-long issue for me, and the solution was not that obvious. As Mani Ezhumalai's answer mentioned, the issue was alternate CNAME records needed.

In my case, it was vs example.com. CloudFront requires both domains to be covered in the alternative domain names list, which requires a single AWS ACM SSL cert to cover both, as well as the appropriate CNAME records configured in the DNS.

I had the same issue. It was WAF / Firewall which rejected the request. Try to disable that to verify.
