AWS S3 Disabling SSLv3 Support

Question

We received an email from AWS that basically says \'S3 is disabling SSLv3 Support, access will be cut-off in 15 days\'. They then listed some buckets we have (one in production)

54.231.32.0 s3.amazonaws.com
54.231.32.1 .s3.amazonaws.com
54.231.32.3 .s3-external-1.amazonaws.com

Configure the above in your /etc/hosts, replacing with your bucket name.

NOTE: when using with a non us-east-1 bucket you may get redirect and failure responses. This has more to do with their adhoc infrastructure for testing this than anything else. So ignore that.

Create a "standard US bucket" and test with that instead. Remember to configure your app to use s3 region external-1

FWIW, my app using paperclip (4.2.0) on ruby 2.1.4 works fine.
