Hi,
I added 'safely do...end' wrap around all methods which are touching
backend clouds in drivers. So now instead of just getting 'Internal Server
Error'
you will get HTML/XML representation of backend exception (status 500).
One question remains open. Is there any 'standard' way in REST
to report errors/exceptions ?
Right now we are using this:
<error status="500" url="/api/instances.xml">
<kind>backend_error</kind>
<backend driver="ec2">
<code>500</code>
<message>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature
you provided. Check your AWS Secret Access Key and signing method. Consult the
service documentation for details.</message>
<cause>AWS::SignatureDoesNotMatch</cause>
<details>...backtrace goes here...</details>
</backend>
</error>
Possible additions could be: 'backend request url', 'timestamp',
'raw response from backend', etc... Let me know what do you think.
