Cannot upload attachments to s3 bucket when using multi-datasets

Here is the error on the api:

----------------------------------------

We should push this fix to our develop-0.7.0 branch

We don't get this error on master, only on the branches with multi datasets

@Lukeswart could this be http/https related? Just googling the error above I'm finding a few mentions of problems caused when trying to access an http site over https. Do the image attachments get sent over https maybe, causing an issue with the local http installation of the api?

Ah, thanks for the input! Yes, that could be, since our local api is not on https (but the dev and prod api's are).

We may want to look into a better solution that "fakes" s3 and saves the attachments onto your local filesystem when no in production mode
