Crash of Bzr branch through a http proxy

[Lionel Dricot]

Trying to do "bzr branch lp:gtg" on Ubuntu intrepid through an HTTP proxy with authentification. The error seems to be different than bug #186920

echo $http_proxy :
http://$username:$password@proxy:80/

bzr branch lp:gtg

bzr: ERROR: socket.sslerror: (8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol')
