Research direction

Inspect the current S3 upload implementation and trace where create_bucket is called; the issue does not name a file or test. Compare that behavior with the intended upload flow and verify whether bucket creation is expected, then document or correct the behavior and add a regression check if the repository provides a suitable test location.

Description

Hi,

How is it possible that the current S3 code works? As far as I can tell the code for the S3 Upload
is using "create_bucket", which A) does not work B) creates a bucket when it shouldn't C) should be get_bucket. Is this just a problem that I am having or is this a feature that no one is using?

Cheers,

Woutifier
