Amazon has a difficult time with the HTTP standard sometimes. Last time I had to touch an AWS project we discovered a bug[1] in the C++ code backing a Java library (sic). They had implemented their own HTTP client, but forgot to add the "Host" header to requests which is required by HTTP 1.1. Interestingly this client sent requests only to their own services, which means that they either released that without testing it or the backend once accepted faulty requests.
