This fixes things for me but ipactl start isn't working reliably and 
I've yet to determine if it is related or not (I'm thinking not).

What I see is that it considers pki-tomcatd to not have started. What is 
happening is the request to the getStatus URI is timing out and that 
exception is being considered a "didn't start."

I modified the code to treat a timeout as a 503 and it is still failing 
because the timeout is so longer that it eats up all our normal timeout 
for waiting for the service at all.

I don't see a way to pass a timeout to the http request method, I'll 
keep looking.

I'm testing in F-18 btw.
