Amazon S3 Extension Not Installed, but s3:// Paths Still Work in Lucee

In the Lucee Admin, it shows that the Amazon S3 extension is not installed.
However, I am still able to use s3:// paths in my CFML code (for example with <cffile>), and everything is working without errors.

Is this expected behavior?

  • Does the Amazon S3 extension actually need to be installed to use s3:// paths in Lucee?
  • Or could this be a bug in the Lucee Admin where the extension is installed but not being recognized or displayed correctly?

Any clarification would be appreciated.
