Thanks for report this! Do you have specific ideas what could be
changed? If so, would you be able to submit a pull request
(https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql)?

That's odd indeed. Not sure what to do about it since I can't reproduce

http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/authinfo.html for me in the first hit
(i.e., no https)...
