Comment 2 for bug 1806699

Arx, I am not sure how this is implemented but when I tried to make a HTTP request from my own machine I found that 8080 was not open (probably firewalled?).

I can understand the need to spam protect it but a HTTP server should answer from any location and reponsd with meaningful HTTP error codes.

HTTP 429 seems an adequate one. Also a funny photo about it at https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/128512/suggested-http-rest-status-code-for-request-limit-reached

I think that the server should accept any requests regardless if it decides to drop them or send them.

Lets tune it for the moment and see what happens.

I created https://review.openstack.org/622352 which should allow to track future recurrence of this error.
