Thanks for the PR! Just a few things that I noticed while reviewing for test clinic

@waynew
Per our slack thread error handling is already handled in the salt utils http.
Heres an example of a communication failure being handled as I expected.

bad uri:

salt '*juke*' restconf.get_data ''
jukebox:
    ----------
    error:
        HTTP 404: Not Found
    status:
        404

unreachable host:

salt '*juke*' restconf.get_data ''
jukebox:
    ----------
    error:
        [Errno 111] Connection refused
    status:
        0

The states code has logic written around the status code response.

@ITJamie Yes, we had discussion in the team and have decided to include this PR in the Phosphorous Release (3005). The Team is a little busy at the moment but it is currently scheduled to be included.
