@nacx no offense here :) Your analysis is correct but I thought that this 500 error response is a bug on the API call (server side) in fact I already tried a retry logic which doesn't seem to solve the issue.
As that getImage method is robust to null object elsewhere I think it is safe to replicate the try/catch idea but using a more jclouds approach (with a Fallback or else). Does it answer your concern? --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/199#issuecomment-28221801
