  <p>This doesn't work either:
  <code>aws dynamodb list-tables --region local</code>
  Could not connect to the endpoint URL: &quot;http://localhost:8000/&quot;</p>
  <p>I tried using a different port and that didn't help. I disabled all proxies too.
  I am able to connect to DynamoDB using an application like this so I know it's not a dynamodb issue:
  <code>aws dynamodb list-tables --endpoint-url http://dynamodb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com --region us-west-2</code></p>
