Bug Description

Hi,

The json string on: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/releasesTable is badly formatted, there is a superfluous comma at the end of 4th last line (222nd line). JavaScript can parse this string but python can't.

Thanks,
TianYi

Hi,
  Thanks for raising this.
  I'd like to suggest that http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/releasesTable is not intended to be externally consumed (other than by that browser application).

  We do, however have that data available in 2 supported formats now:
* simplestreams: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/streams/v1/index.sjs
* "/query": http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query/

The simplestreams data should largely be self explanatory for parsing, with aws specific data at http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/streams/v1/com.ubuntu.cloud:released:aws.js .

There is a package 'simplestreams' available in Ubuntu raring (http://launchpad.net/simplestreams) that also has a client and tools for reading the data.

Note, simplestreams data is now available at

Please use that data.
