Comment 2 for bug 1180355

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I failed to reproduce this bug on 12.04. Using lxc 0.7.5-3ubuntu67, I get:

$ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n test

No config file specified, using the default config
ubuntu-cloudimg-query is /usr/bin/ubuntu-cloudimg-query
wget is /usr/bin/wget

You have not posted exact steps to reproduce your problem. Please do so, explain why you believe this is a bug rather than a network problem at your end, and then change the bug status back to New. On the other hand, if this turns out to be a problem at your end, please change the bug status to Invalid.

Also please try running wget against the failed URL directly, rather than pasting it into a browser on what I presume is a different machine, and post the output.

Thanks!
