creating slave zones does not work

[Habbie]

In def zone_exists:

    if info['status'] == 422:  # not found
        return None

but since PowerDNS/pdns@77bfe8d, the API uses 404 to indicate domain not found.

Furthermore, the code just above (url = "{0}/{1}".format(base_url, zone)) does not take into account the (intentionally unspecified) encoding the API uses for zone names in URLs. I am unsure there is an official way to check for presence of a zone, other than listing all zones.

As I think you're indicating: this used to work pre API changes.
