URL paths can be empty and not have preceding separator,
we do not yet know the conditions this can happen inside
Go http server.
This patch is to ensure that we do not crash ourselves
under conditions where r.URL.Path may be empty.
Fixes#3553
Golang HTTP client automatically detects content-type but
for S3 clients this content-type might be incorrect or
might misbehave.
For example:
```
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
```
Should be
```
Content-Type: application/xml
```
Allow this to be set properly.
Make sure all S3 signature requests are not re-directed
to `/minio`. This should be only done for JWT and some
Anonymous requests.
This also fixes a bug found from https://github.com/bji/libs3
```
$ s3 -u list
ERROR: XmlParseFailure
```
Now after this fix shows proper output
```
$ s3 -u list
Bucket Created

Ref #3229
After review with @abperiasamy we decided to remove all the unnecessary options
- MINIO_BROWSER (Implemented as a security feature but now deemed obsolete
since even if blocking access to MINIO_BROWSER, s3 API port is open)
- MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY (Defaults to 72h)
- MINIO_MAXCONN (No one used this option and we don't test this)
- MINIO_ENABLE_FSMETA (Enable FSMETA all the time)
Remove --ignore-disks option - this option was implemented when XL layer
would initialize the backend disks and heal them automatically to disallow
XL accidentally using the root partition itself this option was introduced.
This behavior has been changed XL no longer automatically initializes
`format.json` a HEAL is controlled activity, so ignore-disks is not
useful anymore. This change also addresses the problems of our documentation
going forward and keeps things simple. This patch brings in reduction of
options and defaulting them to a valid known inputs. This patch also
serves as a guideline of limiting many ways to do the same thing.
- Servers do not exit for invalid credentials instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for version mismatch instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for time differences between nodes they print and wait.
