After pushing all my https traffic through Fiddler and reviewing the responses from VCD I determined that I had a VC Pod that was returning a short name instead of a FQDN or IP which was causing the next API call against the vsphere / pod to fail (it could not resolve the host).

I still think that the error output could be improved or nuanced with a verbosity level.

Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention. CSE displays the error message (as is) that is received from the underlying vsphere guest library, so we have little control on what the error message contents are. However, we will look into this and try to improve the messages in future.
