Comment 9 for bug 1882671

Awesome debugging Lazlo and also a really well doen bug report Vladislav - thanks!

As Ubutnu background DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTPS is enabled since quite a long time in Ubuntu since bug 1025239.

I don't know if there are better ways nowadays that might allow to disable it in future versions of Ubuntu, but for the already released versions I can't just disable it anyway.
Therefore @Vladislav if the thread you started at <email address hidden> comes to a conclusion/patch please let us know here so that I can consider backporting whatever the final solution will be.
