Django Static Files on S3: S3ResponseError: 301 Moved Permanently - django

Question

I'm trying to host my Django Static and Media files on Amazon S3 and I've been following every guide out there, but I still end up getting S3ResponseError: 301 Moved Permanently errors on deployment of my Elastic Beanstalk Application when it tries to run collectstatic.
My S3 is working and I can access other files on it. I also have it set to a custom domain so you can access the same file in the following ways:
http://s3.condopilot.com.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/thumbs/big/3fca62e2150e8abec3f693a6eae8d2f79bb227fb.jpg
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/s3.condopilot.com/thumbs/big/3fca62e2150e8abec3f693a6eae8d2f79bb227fb.jpg
http://s3.condopilot.com/thumbs/big/3fca62e2150e8abec3f693a6eae8d2f79bb227fb.jpg
It is the third option that I want to use, but I've tried the other ones aswell. Both with and without https:// in the settings below.
My settings file look like this
#settings.py file
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'XXX'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'XXX'
AWS_HEADERS = {
'Expires': 'Thu, 31 Dec 2099 20:00:00 GMT',
'Cache-Control': 'max-age=94608000',
}
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 's3.condopilot.com'
# I have also tried setting AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN to the following:
# - "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/%s/" % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
# - "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/%s" % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
# - "s3.condopilot.com"
AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = "%s.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
AWS_S3_CALLING_FORMAT = 'boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat'
AWS_S3_SECURE_URLS = False # Tried both True and False
AWS_S3_URL_PROTOCOL = 'http' # Tried with and without
STATICFILES_LOCATION = 'static'
STATIC_URL = "http://%s/%s/" % (AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN, STATICFILES_LOCATION)
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'custom_storages.StaticStorage'
MEDIAFILES_LOCATION = 'media'
MEDIA_URL = "http://%s/%s/" % (AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN, MEDIAFILES_LOCATION)
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'custom_storages.MediaStorage'
The reason I have AWS_S3_CALLING_FORMAT = 'boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat' is because without it I get the following error:
ssl.CertificateError: hostname 's3.condopilot.com.s3.amazonaws.com' doesn't match either of '*.s3.amazonaws.com', 's3.amazonaws.com'. All advice I find online regarding that error says that OrdinaryCallingFormat should be used when bucket name contains dots, example s3.condopilot.com.
My custom storages looks like this
#custom_storages.py
from django.conf import settings
from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage
class StaticStorage(S3BotoStorage):
location = settings.STATICFILES_LOCATION
class MediaStorage(S3BotoStorage):
location = settings.MEDIAFILES_LOCATION
And yes, my S3 bucket is set up in eu-west-1.

I think you do not need to set the region S3 in the URL and if you are using django-storage replaces this app to django-storages-redux. You don't need the custom_storages.py file.
Keep things simple. This is enough.
from django.utils import six
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxxXxX'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'bucket-name'
AWS_AUTO_CREATE_BUCKET = False
AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False
AWS_EXPIRY = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7
AWS_HEADERS = {
'Cache-Control': six.b('max-age=%d, s-maxage=%d, must-revalidate' % (
AWS_EXPIRY, AWS_EXPIRY))
}
MEDIA_URL = 'https://%s.s3.amazonaws.com/' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATICFILES_STORAGE = DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE
STATIC_URL = MEDIA_URL
