Keeps redirecting to S3 APIs for me. Is that intended?

One thing people should know about AWS and AWS APIs in general is that it is a ghetto. The ad-hoc nature of most AWS services and their weird interactions is indicative of generally bad design. Even with the AWS Ruby SDK I can barely get anything done without consulting 5 different references about which parameters are required, which are optional, and what the sequence of various calls is supposed to be to get an intended result.

So even though this is useful a cookbook would have been much more useful.
