Comment 8 for bug 523327

The patch attached to upstream bug 131 looks like it should be SRU'd to maverick and natty (both of which ship 0.6.0) and perhaps lucid: http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/issues/detail?id=131

That patch makes httplib2 raise the correct exception when encountering the error - socket timeout, instead of the confusing AttributeError. That's not a complete fix for this (and may invalidate any bandaids people might have added for ubuntuone, gwibber, or other apps), so I'm not 100% sure it's SRU-worthy.

Looks like oneiric has moved to 0.7x which includes this patch already.
