Arvados

We have our largest user community usually working with arkau and users are accessing data from our HPC or shell environments there. They are very used to just using ARKAU.

Now we introduced a new Arvados Cluster ARKA2 for special use cases and to offload some new use cases from ARKAU. But People not always realise that they should switch their API Host to api.arka2.roche.com. The problem however is that this seems to work but isn't reliable. It fails in a larger fraction of API calls with such an error message.

This should either work reliable or be completely disabled but like it is right now this is a bug.
