If a s3 plugin to XrdHTTP is a better architectural choice (seems nobody disagree), this is OK for us.

Keeping up with the s3 development is a concern. I think we need to agree among ourselves that at this stage, we are only talking about basic functions, and low hanging fruits. 

In addition to Rubin, I see the python ecosystem in analysis facility side is picking up momentum. They inevitably run into object stores. Currently they are deploying a MinIO. This is a thing we can help them eliminating if they can write the Xrootd, EOS and dCache via s3.

I agree with Fabrizio. XrdHttp should really be focused on http, though
we've alreay extended that to some degree but only on the request side.
Responses are still totally http. Any further extensions beyond that
should be relegated to a plugin. The code is complicated enough and
anything further would likely make it unmaintainable.
