@udf2457, @ashovlin Can I work on this issue?

[udf2457]

@EndlessLucky I have no objection because I don't know Python anyway. 😉

@EndlessLucky You may not work on any issues in the aws-cli repository. Please refrain from asking in the future, in this issue or others.

Hi @udf2457, thanks for reaching out. The AWS SDKs and AWS CLI are intended for use with specifically AWS. Are you able to reproduce this behavior with AWS S3?

[ashovlin]

Could you also include --debug logs? That should contain the stack trace of where we're hitting the error.
