 My UX with Cyberduck & Amazon S3 has suffered due to certificate trust
 errors that I finally [think I] got to the bottom of.

 For each bucket that uses an FQDN as its name (e.g. media.samj.net) rather
 than a bare token (e.g. digitalcourier) Cyberduck wants to connect to
 fqdn.s3.amazonaws.com (e.g. media.samj.net.s3.amazonaws.com) which fails
 certificate verification even though a *.s3.amazonaws.com wildcard
 certificate is in place.

 I have a feeling this may be the correct behaviour (e.g. *.example.com
 should match a.example.com but not a.b.c.example.com) but it is rather
 annoying as it's not obvious that you have to expand for details and check
 'Always trust "*.s3.amazonaws.com" when connecting to
 "fqdn.s3.amazonaws.com"'.

 Refer also to #2938 - created a new ticket more for SEO than anything
 else.
