Description

In the future, reflector will reside on at least 2 different servers. One will be within AWS (for uploads) and others will be distributed around the world for downloads.
I expect to only have 1 upload and 1 download servers once the work on reflector.go is completed, but the SDK should be able to support this.

Research direction

Start by reading reflector.go and the SDK code that configures reflector endpoints. Trace how uploads and downloads currently select a reflector, then determine the configuration and request paths needed for separate upload and download servers. Done means the SDK supports the AWS upload reflector and geographically distributed download reflectors described in the issue.
