Why does my S3 bucket not work as subdomain?

I have a publicly viewable bucket which works fine when addressed like http://s3.amazonaws.com/[bucketname]/directory/file.jpg but when using the following schema http://[bucketname].s3.amazonaws.com/directory/file.jpg returns:

<Error>
  <Code>NoSuchKey</Code>
  <Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message>
  <Key>directory/file.jpg</Key>
  <RequestId>...</RequestId>
  <HostId>...</HostId>
</Error>

Did I unintentionally change something in my s3 configuration? I can't be 100% sure but I thought a) this was working until recently and b) this should work regardless of configuration setup.

If it's at all germane, my bucketname is all caps...

Because DNS names are case-insensitive, only lowercase bucket names are addressable by the virtual hosting method.

via this page. "Virtual hosting" in this case just means <bucketname>.s3.aws.com style addressing versus path-style addressing like s3.aws.com/<bucketname>/.
