Description

In the odd edge case that the Guacamole login form is visible but the web application has since been fully shut down, clicking "Login" will produce an empty and non-functional home screen. This is because the AngularJS $http failure in that case lacks a truthy data value and is not correctly wrapped into a Guacamole Error response object by requestService.

Such a failure should instead be properly wrapped so it can at least produce an actual user-visible error.
