Description

There is no ability to specify using path style access for the s3 endpoint. There are numerous non-amazon implementations of storage that support the amazon API's but only support path style access such as Cleversafe and Ceph. Additionally in many environments it is difficult to configure DNS correctly to get virtual host style addressing to work
