db create exists error (http api) return content not a json

[creisle]

OrientDB Version: 2.2.17, 2.2.11 (community edition)

Java Version: 1.7.0_91

OS: centos6

Expected behavior

I expected it to return something that could be decoded into a json like all the other error returns i've encountered so far

Actual behavior

but I got just a string. is this expected behaviour? why is the db create error different than all the others
Database 'plocal:/home/creisle/applications/orientdb-community-2.2.17/databases/test' already exists.

Steps to reproduce

start up orientdb server and sent post request to create the test database
http://10.9.202.242:2480/database/test/plocal/graph

send it again to get the error
