Transfer acceleration has no path-style form, so _build_aws_url strips -accelerate and falls back to the plain s3. host:

netloc = s3_prefix
if "s3-accelerate" in s3_prefix:
    ...
    if enforce_path_style:
        netloc = netloc.replace("-accelerate", "", 1)
...
if "s3-accelerate" not in s3_prefix:
    netloc += region + "."

The strip rewrites netloc, but the guard underneath re-tests s3_prefix, which still says s3-accelerate.. So the region never gets appended.

enforce_path_style is set for CreateBucket and GetBucketLocation, and for any bucket name containing a dot over HTTPS. With Minio("s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com", region="us-west-2"):

make_bucket           -> s3.amazonaws.com          (want s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com)
GetBucketLocation     -> s3.amazonaws.com          (want s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com)
get_object            -> my-bucket.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com   (correct, unchanged)

s3.amazonaws.com is us-east-1. So those two calls hit the wrong region while the request is signed for another one. The same client against s3.amazonaws.com builds s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com, which is what the accelerate fallback should match.

Before #1289 this line read if enforce_path_style or not self._accelerate_host_flag. I put that term back, so this restores old behaviour instead of inventing any.

Three tests added to helpers_test.py. The two path-style ones fail on master and pass with the change, and the third pins that virtual-style accelerate keeps its host either way. Unit tests go from 121 passed, 2 skipped to 124 passed, 2 skipped. pylint, mypy minio, autopep8 --diff and isort --diff are all clean.

I have not run this against a real accelerate endpoint, so the evidence is the host string the builder produces, not a live request.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

BaseURL._build_aws_url now removes the Accelerate suffix before building forced path-style hostnames. This allows regional and dualstack S3 hosts while preserving the bucket in the request path. Tests cover default-region, explicit-region, and dualstack endpoints.

Changes

Accelerate path-style URL handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Region-aware URL construction and regression tests
minio/helpers.py, tests/unit/helpers_test.py
Forced path-style Accelerate requests use regional standard or dualstack S3 hostnames. The bucket remains in the request path. Non-path-style Accelerate requests retain their existing behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to efc0e

The fix restores regional host construction for path-style accelerated requests, preventing affected bucket-location and bucket-creation calls from targeting the wrong regional endpoint. The change is mergeable with owner awareness that the HTTPS dotted-bucket path-style case still needs focused test coverage.

A rabbit hops along the trail,
Regional hosts now show the detail.
Dualstack paths stay clear,
Accelerate behavior remains near.

Add unit test for s3-accelarate and enforce_path_style combo like test_aws_bucket_build(self) test

Per review: rather than adding enforce_path_style to the condition below,
strip '-accelerate' from s3_prefix itself when falling back to path style.
The variable then matches the host being built, so the existing
'is this accelerate' check reads correctly without a special case.

Adds the accelerate plus enforce_path_style case to the build tests, in
the style of test_aws_bucket_build.

Mine left s3_prefix saying s3-accelerate. while netloc had already become s3., so the check below was reading a variable that no longer described the host. Adding enforce_path_style to that condition papers over the disagreement instead of removing it. Yours keeps the two in step and the existing check then works with no special case, which is the better fix.

Pushed your diff as-is.

Also added the accelerate plus enforce_path_style case to the build tests, in the shape of test_aws_bucket_build:

("https://s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com", None)              -> https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/my-bucket
("https://s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com", "ap-south-1a")     -> https://s3.ap-south-1a.amazonaws.com/my-bucket
("https://s3-accelerate.dualstack.amazonaws.com", "us-west-2") -> https://s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my-bucket

On master the first of those gives https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-bucket, so the case fails on the missing region, not on formatting. Unit tests are 122 passed, 2 skipped. pylint, mypy, autopep8 --diff and isort --diff are clean.

The virtual-style accelerate cases already in test_aws_bucket_build still pass untouched, which is the half I wanted to be sure of.

Add a regression case for HTTPS dotted bucket names.

The comment lists bucket names containing . as a path-style trigger, but both calls use bucket_name="my-bucket". Add a GET case with bucket_name="my.bucket" and assert the regional host and path. Otherwise, the dotted-bucket branch can regress without failing this test.

Remove the no-op change or add a regression test that fails on the parent revision. The parent code already changes netloc to s3. and appends region when enforce_path_style is true. The new s3_prefix assignment does not change the resulting URL.

Once s3_prefix carries the corrected host, the enforce_path_style term in that check is dead weight, so I dropped it and the condition reads plainly. I also collapsed the three accelerate tests into the single build-style one you asked for. Force-pushed, so the branch is now your fix plus that one test.
