Comment 12 for bug 376760

After successfully adding my workstation, synchronization still hangs. It is exactly the same as with Istvan and Giovanni. Gnome proxy settings and environment variable "https_proxy" are basically ignored.

ubuntuone-syncdaemon tries to connect directly to the server, as seen with netstat:
tcp 0 1 10.0.2.15:59617 174.129.193.12:443 SYN_SENT

and writes out (with --debug):
2009-07-15 11:37:58,147 - ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.ActionQueue - DEBUG - Using record: <RR name=_https._tcp.fs.ubuntuone.com type=SRV class=IN ttl=600s auth=False>

and stays like that forever.
