Question

Hi everyone! It’s a pleassure to be here.

I’m trying to connect airbyte to an Object Storage instance in OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure).
As there is no an specific destination connector for it, I used S3, what is supossed to work.
The problem is that my OCI region is eu-frankfurt-1. But in the configuration of the connection, in the S3 Bucket Region dropdown list, I can’t see that one as part of the list.
It makes that my configuration fails. Here the error:

Could not connect to the S3 bucket with the provided configuration. The authorization header is malformed; the region af-south-1 is wrong; expecting eu-frankfurt-1 (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: AuthorizationHeaderMalformed; Request ID: fra-1:JpOqZ1aDWs2I6J3m2GZXRQc_hlapHiDr70uq7lT445y5blpAmR1gC7VEqh6JHUP6; S3 Extended Request ID: <http://fre4zql23fws.compat.objectstorage.eu-frankfurt-1.oraclecloud.com|fre4zql23fws.compat.objectstorage.eu-frankfurt-1.oraclecloud.com>; Proxy: null)```
Did anyone solve this kind of problems? Is there any alternative?

Thanks!!
