Figured it out. I wasn't actually querying WebHDFS as I thought, I was hitting HttpFS. It wasn't immediately obvious to me from the 1.0.4 documentation that they were separate interfaces, and the initial HTTP request did appear to be working correctly against the wrong server, which added to my confusion.

I'm making requests to the WebHDFS service and getting some error responses in HTML--is there a way to configure this to send JSON error responses?
