Bug description:
  Crash occurred after I ran apt-add-repository <ppa_name> . I got the following output as well as an apport crash message:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 77, in <module>
      ppa_info = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa_name)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 65, in get_ppa_info_from_lp
      lp_page = urlopen(req).read()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen
      return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 394, in open
      response = self._open(req, data)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 412, in _open
      '_open', req)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 372, in _call_chain
      result = func(*args)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1209, in https_open
      return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1171, in do_open
      raise URLError(err)
  urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:503: EOF occurred in violation of protocol>

  I immediately tried again and it worked.
