Recently aws-sdk-cpp quietly switched to using S3 virtual host URIs (https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp/commit/69d9c53882), i.e. it sends requests to http://<bucket>.<region>.s3.amazonaws.com rather than http://<region>.s3.amazonaws.com/<bucket>. However this interacts badly with curl connection reuse. For example, if we do the following: 1) Check whether a bucket exists using GetBucketLocation. 2) If it doesn't, create it using CreateBucket. 3) Do operations on the bucket. then 3) will fail for a minute or so with a NoSuchBucket exception, presumably because the server being hit is a fallback for cases when buckets don't exist. Disabling the use of virtual hosts ensures that 3) succeeds immediately. (I don't know what S3's consistency guarantees are for bucket creation, but in practice buckets appear to be available immediately.) |

Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
