Note: If you configure this account for your REST Snaps, you must include the service
and region in the Service URL field of the Snap settings.
If you include query parameters in the Service URL field, ensure that you pass
the key-value pairs in the ascending order of the keys. For example:
http://coresnapsqa-v4.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/?max-keys=15&prefix=AEP.
The following URL is incorrect as the query parameters are not ordered:
http://coresnapsqa-v4.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/?prefix=AEP&max-keys=15.
