Description

The ISOImporter performs some validation checks on uploaded ISOs, and if those validation checks fail, it raises a ValueError. Unfortunately, Pulp doesn't offer any way for Importers to indicate that they don't wish to accept an upload due to such problems, and the ValueError is not handled gracefully leading to a poor user experience.

For example, if a user tries to upload an ISO called PULP_MANIFEST (which is disallowed as of bug #973678), the upload will be unsuccessful, but the user will not see the error message that indicates why at the client.

$ pulp-admin iso repo uploads upload --repo-id test -f PULP_MANIFEST

The web server reported an error trying to access the Pulp application. The
likely cause is that the pulp-manage-db script has not been run prior to
starting the server. More information can be found in Apache's error log file on
the server itself.

It is also unhelpful that our default error message for unhandled exceptions tells the user that they probably need to run pulp-manage-db. From our pulp.log:

2013-09-05 11:31:23,073 pulp.server.managers.content.upload:ERROR: Error from the importer while importing uploaded unit to repository [test]

raise ValueError(msg)
ValueError: An ISO may not be named PULP_MANIFEST, as it conflicts with the name of the manifest during publishing.

It would be nice to provide that error message to the end user.

I attempted this on 2.5.0. pulp-admin let me upload a file named PULP_MANIFEST and a directory was created under /var/lib/pulp/content for it. However, the directory was empty, and a new unit was not created.
