Support for minio

[codemonstur]

I'd like to use this library to talk to a minio server. As far as I can tell the client only supports AWS S3 because of the hardcoding of the Region class. Can this be opened up?

What changes do you want?

My code has moved on from this and I'm no longer using S3 for file storage. What I needed back when I posted this was a way of setting a hostname-port-region combination for connecting to Minio. s3-lite uses the Region enum for this information. I can't override that or extend it in any way. So s3-lite can only connect to the hardcoded AWS endpoints. Please correct me if I got that wrong.

So what would be needed is a way to instantiate an S3 client using strings and ints.

Unfortunately Region is currently modelled as an Enum and so it can only contain pre-defined values. A class with a bunch of constants would work

My experience of the last weeks is, that if you don't want to use AWS S3, just use the default region "us-east-1" and provide the S3 endpoint of your provider, e.g. https://fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com or https://sos-de-fra-1.exo.io. At least using the AWS JDK that's working.
