Comment 11 for bug 567180

I experimented with setting a very short timeout when creating the Launchpad object. Here's the error I got.

  File "/home/leonardr/.buildout/eggs/httplib2-0.6.0-py2.6.egg/httplib2/__init__.py", line 901, in _request
    (response, content) = self._conn_request(conn, request_uri, method, body, headers)

  File "/home/leonardr/bin/python/lib/python2.6/ssl.py", line 222, in recv
    raise x
ssl.SSLError: The read operation timed out

Of course, this was during the read phase, not the write phase.
