Hi,

I’m trying to setup S3 uploads and it seems that the uploads are working correctly but the GET requests are failing for a weird reason. It seems that discourse is adding a “.cn” to the URI of the uploaded object

After uploading the image in my S3 bucket the public URL is:

`https://hobig...bucket-eu.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/1X/5e894113...48918.jpeg`

but when I inspect the browser my discourse forum is trying to load (notice the .cn)

`https://hobig...bucket-eu.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com.cn/original/1X/5e894113...48918.jpeg`

Does anyone know why is this happening?

Here are my admin settings:

 ![The image shows a configuration settings page for uploading files to Amazon S3, including options for s3 access key id, secret access key, region, bucket, and endpoint. (Subtitulado por IA)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/8/b/68bbff048cd5f185935030dc1f793890f8faec0a.jpeg)
