github-sqs-plugin v1.5 on jenkins v1.509.3 for build notifications

README.md

github only supports SQS in us-east-1, it will not work with any other region!

[x] I use the full SQS queue URL (it doesn't work with just the queue name)
[x] Verifying the SQS queue on Jenkins returns "Verified SQS Queue https://sqs.eu-west-1..."
[x] Jenkins successfully configures the SQS hook on github
[x] Testing the SQS hook on github returns "Test payload deployed!"

Reply from github support:

We're getting an error from Amazon:

    The specified queue does not exist for this wsdl version

It looks like it's trying to write to this queue:

    https://sqs.eu-west-1....

Time to confirm that everything is set up correctly (using awscli, same credentials as the ones in github):

Having looked around, the error github support came back with might be related to defaulting to a different AWS region (us-east-1 in particular). Just to confirm this was not the case, I've created an SQS queue with the same name in us-east-1, confirming everything works with the same credentials:

# sqs alias
alias sqs="aws --queue-url='https://sqs.us-east-1...' sqs"

# sending a message
sqs send-message --message-body="Hi, us-east-1 here"
{
    "MD5OfMessageBody": "c1d26ff26fe72dbb4a011f89a29d7df8",
