The authorization header is malformed; Invalid credential date. Date is not the same as X-Amz-Date

The binary version of arq_restore and latest master fail immediately with the error:

arq_restore: GET https://s3.amazonaws.com/: The authorization header is malformed; Invalid credential date. Date is not the same as X-Amz-Date.

What arguments did you give to arq_restore?
What version of macOS are you using?

Apologies for the poor details. This is reproducible for me on both the last version of Catalina 10.15.7 and on Big Sur 11.0.1. I ran the command: ./arq_restore list computers aws_s3, where aws_s3 is an arbitrary target name.

However, I just deleted the target and re-added it and surprise, now it's working. So it's going to be difficult to reproduce without more specific knowledge of the conditions that could ever lead to such behavior. Feel free to close this ticket as desired.

Hmm. OK. Wish I knew how to reproduce it.
