### Please describe the problem. Creating a remote for a GCS durable reduced availability (DRA) or nearline bucket fails with "Invalid argument". ### What steps will reproduce the problem? $ git annex initremote test encryption=none bucket=BUCKET type=S3 host=storage.googleapis.com This works if BUCKET is a standard bucket, but fails with "invalid argument" if BUCKET is a DRA or nearline bucket. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 5.20150205 on macos 10.10 ### Please provide any additional information below. I spent some time in strace, and my best guess is that this is because git-annex is sending x-amz-storage-class: STANDARD. I couldn't figure out a way to disable this; if I did e.g. $ git annex initremote test encryption=none bucket=BUCKET type=S3 host=storage.googleapis.com storageclass="NEARLINE" it still fails and still sends storage-class: STANDARD. I also tried storageclass="" -- same thing. Here's the HTTP request that's failing: PUT /annex-uuid HTTP/1.1\r\nAuthorization: AWS GOOG<...>:<...>=\r\nDate: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 01:41:38 GMT\r\nHost: jlebar-backup-annex-nearline-test.storage.googleapis.com\r\nContent-Type: \r\nx-amz-storage-class: STANDARD\r\nContent-Length: 36\r\n\r\n<...> And the (rather unhelpful) HTTP response: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request\r\nContent-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8\r\nContent-Length: 117\r\nVary: Origin\r\nDate: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 01:41:38 GMT\r\nServer: UploadServer (\"Built on Feb 27 2015 12:13:16 (1425067996)\")\r\nAlternate-Protocol: 80:quic,p=0.5\r\n\r\nInvalidArgumentInvalid argument.
