Description

Using deltacloud ruby client, create an instance with a name longer than 50 chars:

DeltaCloud.new( API_NAME, API_PASSWORD, API_URL ) do |client|
instance = client.create_instance( '359123e1-d343-40be-ae1d-df180cdf65ef',
:hardware_profile=>'SERVER',
:name=>"rlandyLaunchClientWithNameLongerThanSixtyCharactersTotestJiraOut")

Client throws:

1) launch test should allow creation of new instances
Failure/Error: instance = client.create_instance( '359123e1-d343-40be-ae1d-df180cdf65ef',
DeltaCloud::HTTPError::BadRequest:
400

DeltaCloud::HTTPError::ClientError: The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax.

Looking at the server logs, "RuntimeError:Parameter name must be 50 characters or less" ... however this message is not passed to the client
