Description of problem:
Encountering "TypeError: string indices must be integers, not str" when getting a Response: status=202 from production candlepin environment.  Note that this bug was written to capture and fix the traceback on the client.  The bigger problem is that the server should not be returning a 202. 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-7 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 0.9.26.11-1
subscription management rules: 5.15
subscription-manager: 1.15.9-15.el7
python-rhsm: 1.15.4-5.el7


How reproducible:
I suspect this issue is caused by the aftermath of the weekend outage https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-1053566
This bug is normally not reproducible.


Steps to Reproduce:

For comparison, let's demonstrate the same calls against a happier stage environment with redacted stage credentials...
