I see that there was support for using “path style” access for S3 at one point, but it was removed. Can we figure out a compromise to get this added back in as well as support for chunked encoding? Some cloud providers S3 compatible endpoints require just a tiny bit more configuration and these two settings in particular are required to use Oracle Cloud Object Storage:

Reasoning for the change is here:

> Mínio supports “DNS style” buckets for over a year, and Amazon S3 is deprecating “path style” so there is no reason to keep that old setting and all the complexity it had.
So we have compatibility with AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces. I’m afraid compatibility with Oracle Cloud won’t be enough to justify the added complexity in core.
Doesn’t Oracle plans on fixing this in their roadmap? If not, the only road would be adding the path style support in a custom plugin.
