[Sugar-devel] [PATCH v4 sugar] Time out on registration process to prevent indefinite UI hang (SL#2289)

[Dipankar Patro]

Hi Simon,

When I was working on the issue, I was using an emulator on Ubuntu to run
Sugar (USR). Is the problem occurring on a XO?
The only reason to use the TimeoutTransport here is to add a timeout with
registration server connection process, which was not there before.
The problem seems to be related to library 'httplib'. Let me check out on
that.

Regards,
Dipankar
