[SOLVED] Broken S3 Media - Help?

I´m almost done with my setup, but cannot fix one weird problem with Amazon S3 Media upload. Hope someone here has or had the same issue or anyone has any idea on this.

I´ve setup S3 Media following Fluent Doc instructions. When i upload an image it appears in the bucket (screen1) but it doesn't show up in the community (screen2). Instead it shows a broken image. (Or nothing at all when i hit the "post" button here.)

I even deleted the bucket and user and built everything from scratch because i thought something might be wrong with the bucket or user. But again, the exact same behavior.

I copied the broken image url, opened a new browser tab and it downloaded the right image, so it is there and accessible. but doesn’t appear in the community

However - the browser said "unsecure connection" before i was able to download it. This might be the reason why it´s not loaded? But HOW can i solve this?!

This is a link to one of the files -

Help anyone? :)

Haha, problem solved some minutes later (after spending DAYS with this issue)
I´m SURE others will face this at some point as well, so here´s the incredibly simple solution:

I´ve used dots in my bucket names. (for example sns.data) I got a hint from users to change this. and voilá - naming it sns-data solved this.

Dear Fluent Team, PLEASE put this little detail in your tutorial for AWS Setup. For AWS Newbies like me it isnt obvious that a bucket shouldnt be named with dots (why is it even possible then :)
