I'm trying to emulate AWS SQS functionality using <https://github.com/roribio/alpine-sqs> container.

I was able to run the docker container and send the messages to the queue using terminal. configured **AWS Access Key ID** and **AWS Secret Access Key** to empty strings using `aws configure`

The command I used to send the message to the SQS queue container is this

```
aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:9324 sqs send-message --queue-url http://localhost:9324/queue/default --message-body "Hello, queue!"

```

I was able to receive the message and I can see it in the dashboad in browser at `localhost:9235`.

But when I try to send the message using `boto3` in `python`, it is throwing an error.

Not sure why I'm getting the error even after setting the keys using `aws configure`.

Everything that I'm running is in my local.

Here's my code:

```
import boto3
sqs = boto3.client('sqs', aws_access_key_id=None, aws_secret_access_key=None)
queue_url = 'http://localhost:9324/queue/default'
resp = sqs.send_message(
    QueueUrl=queue_url,
    MessageBody=(
        'Sample message for Queue.'
    )
)
print(resp['MessageId'])

```
