Thank you for catching those errors. The changes were applied, but something weird happened and your change requests are still listed as open.

I think we can use the samba URI too smb://path/to... so:

Suggested change

	`aws cur put-report-definition --report-definition file://{{path/to/report-definition.json}}`
	`aws cur put-report-definition --report-definition {{file://path/to/report-definition.json}}`

Tried using smb on a machine with samba installed and it didn't work. Have you tried using that notation with this command? Can you share the details so I can replicate it?

@navarroaxel I'm not so sure about your suggestion. If you have to use file:// every time, it's not really a variable. It's the same with quotes, where we also use "{{text}}".

[258204]

@bl-ue and I haven't been able to get smb://path/to... to work with aws. At this point I don't think it is compatible.

[bl-ue]

smb: has a different syntax anyway, smb://<host>/<path> (I believe)

[navarroaxel]

Ok, if smb:// doesn't work this is ok then.

[258204]

I'll spend some more time experimenting with smb and see if I can find a usage that will work.

[bl-ue]

If it becomes too much work, forget it @285204, because it's likely that only a very few persons will even read this, let alone try it out for real.

[258204]

I did a little bit more and convinced myself it doesn't work.

[bl-ue]

It's a no-go then. Let's not document it.

Thanks, @258204!

Merging, since this has been open a while and @mfrw's comments appear to have been addressed.
