put_bucket failing with InvalidLocationConstraint

[DavidRGriswold]

When using the us-east-1 region, put_bucket is failing with an "Invalid Location constraint" error. It seems the location-constraint header should be left blank when using the us-east-1 region, according to the api documentation here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region

This error is occurring on the latest version, 0.3.8

I tried removing the tags put_bucket function and received a MalformedXML error; I am out of my depth here, I'm afraid. Solved my own problem by simply creating the bucket using the CLI, but this should probably be fixed by somebody who knows what they are doing.

Can you give a reproducible example that generates this error? And include the output of sessionInfo() in your example?

[DavidRGriswold]

Sure. I just tried put_bucket("test-bucket",region="us-east-1",acl="public-read")

and got the following output (I've removed some of the long char strings because I don't know what might be auth code stuff)

Thanks. Yes, the issue is here: https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.s3/blob/master/R/put_bucket.R#L31-L32 The body should only be passed when region != "us-east-1". Will try to fix soon.

This should now be fixed. Sorry for the delay in getting to it.
