Hey Folks,
 Any idea why 'nova flavor-list' (among other things) would fail with a 503 but 'nova-manage flavor list' succeeds?

bash-4.1$ sudo nova-manage flavor list
Password:

bash-4.1$ nova flavor-list
ERROR: string indices must be integers, not str
bash-4.1$

As an aside:

That error is a result of a 503 being passed back in the body of the get, which is then blindly passed to the json parser, and missed by the resp.status check in client.py:

"
        if resp.status in (400, 401, 403, 404, 408, 409, 413, 500, 501):
            raise exceptions.from_response(resp, body)
"
Adding a 503 to that status list above will at least cause it to fail correctly:

"
bash-4.1$ nova flavor-list
ERROR: n/a (HTTP 503)
bash-4.1$
"

That said, help?

Thanks!
