Rudder

Nicolas just encountered a situation where the inventory-endpoint didn't have a valid LDAP connection. This happens when the LDAP server is not available on startup, as there is no retry or fail mechanism (this is a separate bug). However, what happened here is that the endpoint correctly provided an error message (something like "Can't contact LDAP"), but CFEngine moved the inventory to "received" (from the original "incoming" folder) anyway.

1. CFEngine doesn't properly check the HTTP return code, and moves the inventories even if there was an error sending them to the endpoint
2. The endpoint doesn't properly return an error code in this case

This is quite a bother, since it's very hard to detect this situation when using Rudder.

I will start by checking 1 above.
