Backup to S3 configuration problem

Why this restriction of using dots?

If you search ‘s3 bucket dots’ on this forum there are a few topics about it. It looks like it comes down to the lack of HTTPS support on buckets with dots in the name:

Discourse does not allow dot «.» symbol in bucket name while Amazon S3 allows it

Yes I agree, we should just disallow this, its adding complexity where complexity is not needed. If people want vanity “sexy” names then can use s3_cdn. A solution that only works with HTTP is not really acceptable.
