Public bug reported: This issue seems to be similar to Bug #1161599 as such is fixed in 13.10 however it seems it is only partially fixed.
Problem is when using deja-dup resp. duplicity to backup up a large amount of files to Ubuntu One. After a couple of minutes the backup aborts with "Giving up on request after 5 attempts, last status 400 Bad Request". Before the bad request appears network usage indicates full upload usage but after bad request appears nothing has been uploaded. Here is the last line of the output of DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup > deja-dup.debug: DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . making PUT request to https://files.one.ubuntu.com/content/~/deja-dup/lpsao/duplicity-full.20140318T155641Z.vol3.difftar.gpg (attempt 1) DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . completed request with status 400 Bad Request DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . making PUT request to https://files.one.ubuntu.com/content/~/deja-dup/lpsao/duplicity-full.20140318T155641Z.vol3.difftar.gpg (attempt 2) DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . completed request with status 401 UNAUTHORIZED DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . making PUT request to https://files.one.ubuntu.com/content/~/deja-dup/lpsao/duplicity-full.20140318T155641Z.vol3.difftar.gpg (attempt 3) DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . completed request with status 400 Bad Request DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . making PUT request to https://files.one.ubuntu.com/content/~/deja-dup/lpsao/duplicity-full.20140318T155641Z.vol3.difftar.gpg (attempt 4) DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . completed request with status 401 UNAUTHORIZED DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . making PUT request to https://files.one.ubuntu.com/content/~/deja-dup/lpsao/duplicity-full.20140318T155641Z.vol3.difftar.gpg (attempt 5) DUPLICITY: INFO 1 DUPLICITY: . completed request with status 400 Bad Request DUPLICITY: ERROR 50 DUPLICITY: .
