#9059: Certificate error with S3 upload to bucket named as FQDN host

    Priority:  normal  |  Milestone:
   Component:  core    |    Version:  4.7.2
    Severity:  normal  |   Keywords:  S3 certificate
Architecture:          |   Platform:
-----------------------+----------------------------
 Steps to reproduce.

 Create S3 bucket for a statically hosted site
 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/website-hosting-custom-
 domain-walkthrough.html)

 Cyberduck for Windows 4.7.2:
 Configure a bookmark to access the bucket and you'll get a warning
 indicating that that the certificate is not valid and that "You might be
 connecting to a servver that is pretending to be
 <www.example.com>.s3.amazonaws.com"  (where example.com is the bucket
 named after your FQDN).

 duck.sh for Linux 4.7.2:
 Upload to the bucket and you will get a warning:  The certificate for this
 server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending
 to be “<www.example.com>.s3.amazonaws.com” which could put your
 confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server
 anyway? (y/n):
 ... (where example.com is the bucket named after your FQDN)

 In the case of the Windows Cyberduck UI one is given an option to click
 the button "Show Certificate" which does indeed show the valid certificate
 for *.s3.amazonaws.com


 I don't experience this issue when uploading to buckets that do not match
 the FQDN format.
