Couchbase Client hangs during instantion of the Client if the request to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8091/pools/default/bucketsStreaming/default is blocked or never returns

During instantiation of the client, a MessageStreamListener is created. Inside of the listener is a call is made to the config url

Line 376 of MessageStreamListener

this.request = this.requestFactory.GetWebRequest(configUrl, configUrl.GetHashCode().ToString());
this.response = this.request.GetResponse();

If this call never completes, for example because AVG silently blocks the request and prevents the data from being returned, then the client will wait indefinitely instead of timing out.
