With the s3.* config form and an endpoint written without a scheme, use_ssl being omitted built an http:// endpoint, while config.example.yml documented use_ssl as defaulting to true. Over plain HTTP a network observer sees manifests, object names, sizes and the access key id, and can alter responses.
use_ssl is now *bool: omitted (nil) means the default, TLS; only an explicit use_ssl: false forces plain HTTP. This matches the s3:// URL form, which already defaults to TLS. The config init template dropped its misleading use_ssl line from the s3:// block (that key is never read for URLs; ?ssl=false controls TLS there) and points at ?ssl=false instead.
