AWS Param store put with urls via CLI

seems the CLI will follow urls given to it. which for param store is not very useful when you want to store the website address instead.


the work around.

aws configure set cli_follow_urlparam false

per
https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/1475


then this works

aws ssm put-parameter --name "/myappconfig/" --type "String" --value "http://enhanceindustries.com.au/" --region ap-southeast-2
