Bucket and Host Name
--------------------
There are two different modes of accessing the buckets. The first (preferred) method
identifies the bucket as the top-level directory in the URI. ::

	GET /mybucket HTTP/1.1
	Host: cname.domain.com

The second method identifies the bucket via a virtual bucket host name. For example::

	GET / HTTP/1.1
	Host: mybucket.cname.domain.com

.. tip:: We prefer the first method, because the second method requires expensive domain certification and DNS wild cards.
