Tiny improvement for Jira - Was: Re: github OAuth authentication need ?

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

I've been hit by rate-limiting on puppetlabs' Jira, and made sure to
reset credentials to the normal.

In the meantime, I've added a tiny bit of exception handling to propery
report the faulty SOAP endpoint.

You'll find it in cc161f3262df50c0c0f705ac482a4e31975228f7 on the
'obergix-master' branch.

An intereting improvement, though, would be to only initialize the WSDL
proxies for SOAP endpoints only when bugs on such trackers are actually
processed by btspull instead of at every run. It would avoid
authenticating unnecessarily, thus avoiding burning tokens^Wkittens for
nothing. I've put that in my TODO, but anyone faster would be much
welcome ;)

Hope this helps,
