 I came across a problem today where HTTPS Everywhere was preventing access
 to certain AWS protected content.  Instead of getting the download I
 received an XML document such as the following:

 <Error>
     <Code>PermanentRedirect</Code>
     <Message>The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed
 using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this
 endpoint.</Message>
     <RequestId>REDACTED</RequestId>
     <Bucket>thewire</Bucket>
     <HostId>REDACTED</HostId
     <Endpoint>thewire.s3.amazonaws.com</Endpoint>
 </Error>

 Turning off HTTPS Everywhere support for AWS fixed the problem.
