Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://s3.local.amazonaws.com/"

Question

I am trying to run the command "aws s3 ls" and I'm getting the following response:  
  
Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://s3.local.amazonaws.com/"  
  
I have verified that the credentials I have set up in my credentials file have programmatic access.  
My config file is set up with the following values:  
\[default]  
region = us-east-1  
output = json  
  
I have tried setting up a new user and creating new credentials.  
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the cli.  
Ping request could not find host s3.local.amazonaws.com.  
I did get a response from ping s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.  
  
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what else I can try?

Answer

Just after I posted this I noticed that I had an environment variable set up causing the region to be set as "local".  
I removed the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable and it is now connecting to the correct endpoint URL using the region from my config file.

Could not connect to the endpoint URL: &quot;https://s3.local.amazonaws.com/&quot;
