gnome-do dies if internet connection has "login page"

[Luis Carlos Cobo]

When using Ethernet in my university campus, you web request are intercepted for your university login/pass before you can access to the Internet, similar to pay pages for wifi services in many places. This causes gnome-do to die (I assume it tries to connect somewhere and gets an unexpected response). Which means I have to restart gnome-do every day after I plug my computer in the university network.

This situation should not make gnome-do die, maybe start an exponential backoff retry period until it gets whatever information it needs.
