Ability to get s3:// URI back from an S3 resource

[osi]

I am trying to "round-trip" resources from a s3:// URI into a Resource and back again. Currently, SimpleStorageResource#getURL returns a https:// URI into AWS.

It would be nice to be able to round-trip these URIs

I want to help. Where should I look into.?

@tmnuwan12 go for it. Just keep in mind that whatever we do here should stay backward compatible.

Can you assign it to me.. But I need some time with this if that's ok. I have some office stuff to clear out this week.

For bug fixes do we need to branch off from master or 2.2.x branch..?

[maciejwalkowiak]

Good question! Ideally from 2.2.x

I checked the code for SimpleStorageResource. From what I understand from the requirement is ability to specify "s3://" endpoint when creating SimpleStorageResource and return
"s3://" compliant URL by calling method getURL().. Before I change anything want to check the approach here.. I was thinking of add/modify constructor to accommodate a URL object or url string and return a compatible URL based on constructor argument.. Feel free to provide some inputs please.

I think it it should be possible to obtain s3:// and https:// no matter how what parameters were passed to the constructor. What do you think?
