Shouldn't it be API rather than protocol?

Also my sympathies for having to support the so-called "S3 standard/protocol".

Yes, both can be fine :) after all, a Protocol can be interpreted as a Standardised API which the client and server interact with, it can be low-level or high-level.

I hope you like the addition and we have the implementation all open-source on the Supabase Storage server

I think that protocol is appropriate here since s3 resources are often represented by a s3:// url where the scheme part of the url is often used to represent the protocol.

S3 uses HTTP protocol for communication between client and server. The `s3://` paths make it seem like it’s a protocol but that’s just a way to represent the path on the s3 client to differentiate it from a local file path.
