This is an example of "stack traces should never be displayed to the user". Instead, the cli should catch exceptions of this type and print out a nice explanation to the user about what is wrong and how to diagnose and fix it.

Replying to warner:
so, um, what command were you running when you got this message?
Sorry. The command was:
./bin/tahoe put file.ext

The fact that we're using HTTP for everything is a bit of a drag.. either we need to format everything for a possible CLI command in the webapi, or the CLI code needs to interpret some machine-oriented HTTP response and come up with something human facing (after we've already thrown out a lot of the information). The webapi side is probably easier to do.
