[Bug 837217] Re: Time Zone selector hangs and ubiquity freezes if network connection is firewalled

[Colin Watson]

My vote is for using libsoup to fix this, I think, since it supports
asynchronous I/O (which urllib2 doesn't) and also supports direct
control of HTTP headers (which GIO doesn't), as well as having gobject-
introspection bindings.
