To discard an actual problem with the REST API I would suggest you to
run the following command, from the same machine:

# curl \
--cacert /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem \
--user admin at internal:your_password \
https://your_host/api

This should give you a XML document containing the entry point of the
API, something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<api>
   ...
</api>

I would also suggest to check the /etc/ovirt-engine/isouploader.conf
file, as you may have changed something there in the past.
