Description

When the API server returns an error indicating that it is out of memory, the go sdk client code returns an error whose Error() method returns "#<NoMemoryError: failed to allocate memory>"

In addition to the actual error message returned by the server, it should also give context to indicate that this error message was returned by the api server, and might as well print the returned status and message too.

As stated in http://blog.golang.org/error-handling-and-go :

It is the error implementation's responsibility to summarize the context. The error returned by os.Open formats as "open /etc/passwd: permission denied," not just "permission denied."
