accessing non standard s3 bucket

Using the aws-s3 gem, I can successfully perform transaction with a standard s3 bucket but one made in Ireland (s3-eu-west-1) gives the error The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint. After 2 hours of searching this still means nothing to me, is there a way to get round this problem.

This simple tutorial works fine for standard s3 bucket but not for Ireland.

This person's experiences seem to suggest it's not possible.

Ok I've just found the answer here.

require 'aws/s3'
AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!(
  :access_key_id     => ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  :secret_access_key => SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
)
AWS::S3::DEFAULT_HOST.replace('s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com')  # <= the crucial hacky line
AWS::S3::S3Object.store(
  file_name,
  temp_file,
  bucket,
  :content_type => mime_type
)

Edit

Much better option is to use the aws-sdk gem whose API seems a lot nicer, e.g.:

require 'aws-sdk'
s3 = AWS::S3.new(
    :access_key_id => ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    :secret_access_key => SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
    :s3_endpoint => 's3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'
)
bucket = s3.buckets[bucket_name]
bucket.objects.create(
  file_name,
  temp_file,
  :content_type => mime_type
)
