How to configure AWS S3 SDK for Node.JS to be used with localhost?

Question

I'm trying to use fakes3 as an endpoint for some simple S3 code I've written. I can't get beyond the connection stage though. The current error is: `NetworkingError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND`.

  secretAccessKey: "abc",
  endpoint: "localhost:3000",
  sslEnabled: false,
  s3ForcePathStyle: true
};
AWS.config.update(config);
s3Client = new AWS.S3();
```
