Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fsouza/fake-gcs-server/issues/1966

using fake-gcs-server in a testcontainer, i am facing a peculiar problem whereby certain actions like bucket creation etc work via http requests only and not as direct sdk calls, for example this works

func (p *testGCSStorageProvider) Delete(ctx context.Context, key string) error {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("DELETE", fmt.Sprintf("%s/storage/v1/b/%s/o/%s", os.Getenv("STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST"), p.bucketName, url.QueryEscape(key)), nil)
	_, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	return err
}

but this doesn't


func (p *testGCSStorageProvider) Delete(ctx context.Context, key string) error {
	bucket := p.client.Bucket(p.bucketName)
	obj := bucket.Object(key)
	return obj.Delete(ctx)
}

at the same time, this and similar functionality works

func (p *testGCSStorageProvider) Download(ctx context.Context, key string) (io.ReadCloser, models.FileMetadata, error) {
	// First check if the object exists to provide a clear error
	obj := p.client.Bucket(p.bucketName).Object(key)

	// Get file reader
	reader, err := obj.NewReader(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, models.FileMetadata{}, fmt.Errorf("failed to open reader: %w", err)
	}

...
}

a fix around this would be appreciated.
