Public bug reported:

There is a corner case that the nsx api_client code does not handle
today where the nsx controller can return a 307 in order to redirect the
request to another controller. At this point neutron-server issues this
request to the redirected controller and usually this works fine. Though
in the case that the session cookie has expired we'll issue the request
and get a 401 and clear the cookie from the request. Then we'll retry
the request  and get the same 307 again which will result in a 401 as
the session cookie was never renewed.
