See https://github.com/OpenNeuroOrg/datalad-service/issues/99 where the url generated by a versioned S3 export remote did not url-encode the "+" in the S3 object ID. This breaks git-annex info's display of urls for a file. It also breaks git-annex get from a public S3 remote. While the object in that issue is versioned, other code paths for non-versioned objects have the same problem. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sig-v4-header-based-auth.html describes an URI encoding that appears non-standard; Aws.S3.Core.s3UriEncode implements that. But is S3 using the same non-standard URI encoding for URLs to objects? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingMetadata.html documents a need to url-encode a few punctuation characters, but is frustratingly vague. Experimentally, even url-encoding alphanumerics works in these urls. So it would be ok to use a standard URI encoder. > [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]]
