Rare "Your GCE credentials are invalid" errors when using service accounts #227

Could not being able to reach metadata.google.internal cause this? Retrying usually resolves the issue. Does the current credential retrieval mechanism in gsutil have retry logic?

Yes, this could be caused by failure to reach the metadata server. This logic is based on apitools which doesn't retry; will look into adding retries.

This should be improved (but not completely fixed) in 4.8; caching was added for detecting the metadata server.
