Unable to use Minio on AWS server (hostname check assumes S3)

[stcleezy]

We have Minio running on a public AWS EC2 server. The server is named ec2-X-XXXX-XX.compute-1.amazonaws.com

When we try to connect via the SDK, we get an exception because Minio assumes we're connecting to S3 directly.

Here is where this is happening:
https://github.com/minio/minio-py/blob/master/minio/helpers.py#L447

Can we pass a flag to ignore the S3 check? Is there a better way to get around this?

Thank you!

You could use public IP address as endpoint or use the fix #1391
