When sending an inventory failed (no file or file is not correctly parsed), there is no message linked to the answer, only that an error 412 happened (Precondition failed).

curl --proxy "" -f -F file=@/tmp/plop http://localhost:8080/endpoint/upload/ -v

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 412

there is no message explaining what went wrong with that inventory.

In webapp log, there is some entries like:

[2013-06-05 14:22:15] ERROR com.normation.inventory.provisioning.endpoint.FusionReportEndpoint - Error when trying to parse report: 
Can't parse the input report, aborting
cause: Error when post processing report with 'post_process_inventory:check_consistency', abort
cause: Missing node ID attribute 'UUID' in report. This attribute is mandatory and must contains node ID.
cause: Missing XML element: 'UUID'. 

But sometimes even the log is missing ( ie: when inventory is missing)

Every errors in that endpoint should produce a log and return an error message with http answer.

Looking a bit more in the code, indicate that the response should be filled with a message, but it's not the case
