Description

The C++ Broker returns a 503 error when an exchange is declared as being of a type which the broker does not recognize, and the python test "testTypeNotKnown" in exchange.py tests for this behaviour

However the AMQP0-10 spec (pg 217 of the PDF) says

Exception: exchange-type-not-found
Error: not-found
If the client attempts to create an exchange which the server does not recognize, an exception MUST be sent.

not-found is error code 404
