Ah,  I didn't know that, that indeed is very helpful

Wll, I am not looking for a specific provider,  there are multiple
vendors that by now offer S3 solutions,  like MinIO, Vast-data, Scality,
HPE, Dell etc.  So having anS3 interface would be helpful.  I did create
some code using libcurl to do S3 transactions.

That is what I was wondering too. Some examples like that would be
helpful, especially to figure out what headers etc to use.  I always
found the examples on the libcurl website very helpful, I was looking
for something similar like that.
