 * We are using version 1.1.5 of WP Offload S3 Lite. When going into edit an image,
   after reverse engineering WP core code, I found that it is trying to load a valid
   image stored in S3 via s3://bncore/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_1017-1.jpg.
   This does not appear to be working. When I go to the original URL for the same
   image, [https://s3.amazonaws.com/bncore/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_1017-1.jpg](https://s3.amazonaws.com/bncore/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_1017-1.jpg),
   it works fine.
 * Were using a multi site installation of WP and on a load balanced setup.
 * It does not happen on all images. Is this tied to the upgrade procedure that 
   is running?
 * It only happens when trying to edit an image. All other places the image displays
   fine.
 * Is there a way I can disable the use of the s3 protocol and just use the https
   protocol version of the image URL? Or is there something else I need to do for
   this part of WP to understand the S3 protocol?
