[Question] Connect to AWS S3 bucket using the AWS Access Point

[ManpreetNRI]

We want to connect to an AWS S3 bucket using the Apache VFS (Virtual File System) library, specifically with the VFS-S3 plugin. The bucket is configured with Access Points, and our access is restricted to using these Access Points exclusively.

I am constructing the S3 URL as follows:

String bucket = System.getProperty("AWS_ACCESS_POINT");
String region = System.getProperty("AWS_REGION");
if ((bucket != null) && (region != null)) {
    bucket = "s3://" + bucket + ".s3-" + region + ".amazonaws.com";
}

Could you please confirm if this approach is accurate for accessing the S3 bucket using Access Points, or suggest any necessary modifications? Specifically:

• Is this URL structure correct when restricted to Access Points?
• Are there any additional configurations required to ensure compatibility with VFS-S3 plugin and AWS S3 Access Points?
