I think it is safe to do this (see discussion in the mailing list
[here](http://markmail.org/message/d76czl4tjm4vsjmi)). This is not performing a
raw http call, but using a [generic method in the
AbiquoApi](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/blob/master/abiquo/src/main/java/org/jclouds/abiquo/AbiquoApi.java#L119-L122)
to get the resource pointed by the link.
That api call will be managed as other methods in the delegating apis, so all
error handling, retry logic, etc, will also apply to this call. The only thing
that is being done manually is to parse the output if the request succeeds, but
we already know here which is the returned type, so I think it is safe to do
this here.
