Comment(by sjamaan):

 Turns out Amazon S3 doesn't even implement RFC 2617 properly; it doesn't
 send 401 responses; you need to pass the authentication stuff right along
 with the initial request. If you don't, it just 403s on you.

 Amazon, a bunch of professional fools.

 Amazon, for all your botched standards.

 Amazon, what were they thinking?
