Auto-scale failed to curl catalog with error code 22 which should be a 4xx series error.

@FuhuXia is curl expected to fail in this scenario? shouldn't cg router serve traffic only to healthy instances?

[FuhuXia]

This is abnormal. Our scaling script expects to see catalog-web instance in running states. It does not know how to handle "crashed" state. We intentionally generate an error in this scenario because we want to be notified when catalog-web is in crashed state, or other abnormal state.

If it recovers on its own, then we don't need to worry about it. We need to take a closer look if it keeps coming back.
