No retry after 'HTTP request on broken connection' during device flash

[Para Siva]

Probably a similar one as requested by bug 1334342, but we once in a while see the following and the flashing stops there:

adb reboot bootloader
+ ubuntu-device-flash --bootstrap --developer-mode --channel ubuntu-touch/utopic-proposed
2014/07/01 23:37:08 Expecting the device to be in the bootloader... waiting
2014/07/01 23:37:13 Device is |mako|
2014/07/01 23:37:13 Flashing version 108 from ubuntu-touch/utopic-proposed channel and server https://system-image.ubuntu.com to device mako
2014/07/01 23:37:28 Get https://system-image.ubuntu.com/gpg/image-master.tar.xz.asc: http: can't write HTTP request on broken connection

Would be nice to have more logs for this failure and to retry the connection for the flashing to continue.

This isn't a phablet-tools bug; it's an ubuntu-device-flash one.

The discussion here seems relavent: https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=4677
We can, of course, work around this on our side by retrying in the event of any udf failure, but it might be more precise if udf did the right thing here and retried the connection for this case.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
