S3 Backend: Cannot list directories when storage created with s3cmd #191

Closed Joacchim closed 9 years ago

After investigation, the thing is that s3cmd does not use empty objects to simulate directories, but sees only objects with delemited parts in the path.

In droplet, the approach taken was to create empty files to emulate directories (which enables empty folder emulation).

We need to have the two flavors in order to be able properly read/list a pure S3 bucket.
