Everything around those appears to be "original" - as much as that is possible for a standardized API.

Whoever wrote those docs probably just looked up a reference for the S3 API, and DO's particular implementation happened to be the first result.

There is nothing much wrong with this in my opinion.

The respective docs:

I like scaleway very much. Never had to complain.

Honestly I was just trying their service because I'm excited about a company offering Cloud Service that is based in Europe, this is just one thing I don't like about them, that's it.
