Vague exception thrown when using new S3 Transfer Manager preview for Java

Question

I'm trying to use the new S3 Transfer Manager preview at  .  
  
When trying to do any operation (downloadFile, uploadFile or uploadDirectory) I get:  
  
\[code]Caused by: software.amazon.awssdk.crt.s3.CrtS3RuntimeException: Retry cannot be attempted because the maximum number of retries has been exceeded. AWS_IO_MAX_RETRIES_EXCEEDED(1069)  
	at com.amazonaws.s3.S3NativeClient$1.onFinished(S3NativeClient.java:206)\[/code]  
  
But the real cause of why this operation fails is nowhere to be found. I have full debug logging, but the library is very silent.  
  
When using the "normal" S3AsyncClient and putting objects, all works fine, so there shouldn't be a permission or network issue.  
  
I'm on a Mac (Intel) using Java 8 with the s3 SDK v2.17.75, s3-transfer-manager v2.17.77-PREVIEW, aws-crt v0.15.9 and aws-crt-client v2.17.71-PREVIEW.  
  
Where should I start looking?  
A missing library? But which?

The issue is that it uses the Bucket name as part of the domain name for connecting to S3 (using https://.s3..amazonaws.com as access point).  Even though an S3 Bucket can legally have a period in the name, the code does not currently support it.  
Yes, I should have posted a follow up here when I realized this. I've created a new "issue" for this at . Hopefully it will eventually be resolved.

You're welcome. Only took me a couple of weeks to find out. :) (Though not working 100% on this.)  
  
Now I just have to find out how to add a progress listener to the uploadDirectory() call. Seems to only be supported (yet) when transferring individual files.

In case someone else stumbles upon this post looking for an answer --- as Anders found out through testing and informed me:
