Bug Description

Currently if glance is unavailable an uncaught exception bubbles up and the generic 500 error is raised. This should be trapped internally and a note saying "Image Registry is currently unavailable."

Exception at /nova/images_and_snapshots/
Unknown error occurred! <html><body><h1>503 Service Unavailable</h1>
No server is available to handle this request.
</body></html>

If I kill Glance API in a fresh devstack here's what I see: http://i.imgur.com/ZT1RC.png

I'm wondering if the error you were seeing was from a different service being unavailable?

The issue here is that 503's are not being gracefully handled. We should add some code to exceptions.handle so that 503's returned from API calls add a message instead of bubbling up to the generic 503 error page.

This Glance issue is related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/952618

Short of it is Glance raises Exception classed exceptions for unknown HTTP error codes. Not very easy to deal with those so I will be writing something in to api/glance.py to deal with them.
