If S3 URL is set to use `http` instead of `https`…
But S3 CDN uses `https`…
`uploads/short-url` links still map to
1. the S3 URL
2. but with `https` protocol
Shouldn’t it map to the CDN instead of the S3 URL?
On the other hand, if mapping to the S3 URL, at least should use the specified protocol?

As there is no http-only endpoint for AWS S3, and that is the only object storage officially supported marking this as “won’t fix”.
Can’t you add TLS to your S3-like proxy thing?

Yes, but that requires a certificate. I was just being lazy…

Alternatively, is it possible for `uploads/short-url` to map to the CDN url instead of the S3 url?
