endpoint belongs in ~/.aws/config

[dirkpetersen]

My ~/.aws/config has this entry:

[profile idrive]
region = us-or
s3 =
        endpoint_url = https://v2u8.or.idrivee2-42.com
        signature_version = s3v4

However when I select this profile for my IDrive provider it will only detect a previously configured region but not the endpoint_url

   default-dpcri
   aws-dpcri
   wasabi
 > idrive
   moin
   dipeit
   + Create new profile

*** SET REGION ***

[?] Choose your region:
   -- no region --
   + Create new region
 > us-or
   us-la
   us-va
   us-da
   us-ph
   us-ch
   us-sj
   us-mi
   eu-ie
   gb-ldn
   de-fra2

*** SET ENDPOINT ***

[?] Enter the IDrive endpoint:

instead I see that the endpoint is written to config.ini where it does not belong

[S3]
provider = IDrive
endpoint = https://v2u13.or.idrivee2-42.com

Instead , the selected region, endpoint and signature version should be written back to ~/.aws/config . All providers that require an endpoint url should also have signature_version = s3v4 set . endpoint and signature are indented by tab character

also I see that after config the AWS profile contains "output = json" . Do we know how this impacts the user? It may not be a change they want ?

To ensure that this works deterministically, it would be better to replace

            self.envrn['RCLONE_S3_ENDPOINT'] = cfg.endpoint
            self.envrn['RCLONE_S3_REGION'] = cfg.get_region(
                cfg.profile)

with

            self.envrn['RCLONE_S3_PROFILE'] = cfg.profile

@victormachadoperez, please hold off on this for now because it seems there was a little change in how AWS cli handles end points, they have now 'services' concept:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-endpoints.html

I will test this some more and check how this is consistent with rclone, perhaps we leave the endpoint in config.ini if there is no consistency, let me check

Solved in froster v0.14.19

endpoints are now stored and read from the ~/.aws/config file
