Succeed after removed the region

Same thing happened if we used us-west | ap-southeast | eu-central...
I think if we could get the endpoint, we should using the valid region name and let user be able to create buckets.
As per http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTBucketPUT.html: "If you are creating a bucket on the US East (N. Virginia) region (us-east-1), you do not need to specify the location constraint".
Other regions work fine. I can take this up.

Knowing that we deprecated region in #22848 and removed it in #22853, I think we should close this issue as it won't be fixed.
@clintongormley WDYT?
