Feature request: Allow port to be specified for S3

well done!

does that patch work flawlessly with a port not given?

what does boto API expect in that case?
A. the port parameter ommitted?
B. the value set to None?

remember they might change their internal API, so if they do not explicitely give you a 'not set' value, you will have to stick with A.vand then you will have to handle each case with a condition.

Hi Ed, thanks for the comments.

I've been looking through the code to try and answer your questions, but I'm struggling a bit as I'm not a Python programmer (it took me several hours just to come up with the patch I submitted). I would just try it, but I don't actually have any S3 storage on a standard port number that I can test against; the provider I'm using only uses a non-standard port number, and I am loath to give Amazon any money!

Is there any chance that you could try it yourself if you have access to any S3 storage on a normal port number? If you do get a chance, then that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

Is it possible for me to financially sponsor the inclusion of this patch
and associated testing?

If you want, just send some money to Free Software Foundation (fsf.org). I'm not associated with them, just like what they do.

I had forgotten about this ticket. I'll check it out.

Great. I'll send them $100 once the functionality is added. If you think
I should send more then just let me know.
