The AWS option currently only supports cases wherein a permanent access/secret key is supplied as arguments, not for temporary keys (such as those retrieved via STS). This is a common use case, wherein a user can authenticate via something other than having their own IAM user, and can then be given credentialed access to various AWS endpoints (for instance, access to an API in the API Gateway).

Fixing this is extremely simple (though there's a limitation in the aws4 library in certain cases that requires knowledge of AWS, see mhart/aws4#30 for details), and I'll be submitting a PR for it.
