System.Services.set_service not working with HTTPD

Any idea why the System.Services.set_service has absolutely no effect with SERVICE_HTTPD ? No exception is thrown, no error messages in logs. It does work for mostly all other services! ...

Sure enough. I see the exact same behavior. This works: 

 
  s.set_service(services=[svc.SERVICE_NOKIASNMPD],service_action=action.SERVICE_ACTION_RESTART) 
 producing: 
 local/bigip1 notice logger: /usr/local/www/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi  ==> /usr/bin/bigstart restart nokiasnmpd

This doesn't: 

 
 s.set_service(services=[svc.SERVICE_HTTPD],service_action=action.SERVICE_ACTION_RESTART)

So this looks like an iControl bug. I'll open a case.
