Invalid bucket name #9

Closed PhilT closed 12 years ago

PhilT commented 14 years ago

I'm not sure how it got on our account but I've just found an invalid bucket on it. It's called something like ._bucket-name. I managed to delete the offending bucket with aws/s3. S3Fox wouldn't even delete. But thought I'd mention it as I get ArgumentError: Invalid bucket name: ._bucket-name when doing service.buckets.

There are two solutions at least:

we can omit name validation for existing buckets
we can change the validator to be more permissive

It shouldn't be hard to change the behavior, can you write a little patch for it as well? Thanks in advance.
