Hi Andre, Monte mentioned above that he didn't know about it at the time he created the library, and I guess no one needed it badly enough to request a feature enhancement until September 24, 2020 I can't even imagine the number of things a development platform like lc must keep track of to stay

I think that a consequence of the popularity of S3 REST API was overlooked by the LC HQ when they designed the AWS library. Many of the AWS APIs were copied by other competing products so that they'd become a turn-key replacement for AWS. It is much easier to push your company's backuping solution

Paul, thanks for your thoughts, you are right there are some traps with the s3 compatible part, and some unknown that we may not know about. Richard, thanks for letting me know about those libraries, its definitely another option that can be used to achieve the same result. I will definitely

Thanks for that background, Tom. If it *must* be s3 then either working with LC Ltd or crafting an open competing lib would be necessary. Open source competing libs are problematic on both sides, since the dev needs to replicate the effort and the company loses one more advantage to their

Hi Monte, Yes you are right, I will take those steps to elevate it. I do understand that even if its easy, it needs to be prioritized. I appreciate that its there to even be adjusted in the first place, and its my fault that I assumed. I'm not annoyed anymore, but hopeful that this can happen in

Hi Richard, Yes exactly. I just need my application to have object storage, but I don't do business with AWS. Amazon gets enough of my money. The reason I planned to use this library and this method is for simplicity, more options for hosts, and for trying different things. Like MINIO. I am

Hi Todd Given I’m the expert that needs to review this (I wrote the library) I thought I’d comment. The library was implemented for a business customer that required AWS S3. There was no discussion or investigation at the time about whether it would be feasible to make the library work for
