-Subject: [PATCH] S3: Support signature=v4
-
-To use S3 Signature Version 4. Some S3 services seem to require v4, while
-others may only support v2, which remains the default.
-
-I'm also not sure if v4 works correctly in all cases, there is this
-upstream bug report: https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/262
-I've only tested it against the default S3 endpoint.
