gsutil connection timed out - google-cloud-storage

Question

When using gsutil tool on one of our machines we experience connection timeout with www.googleapis.com on port 443.
Here is the output when running :
gsutil -D cp gs://somefile somefile
Retrying download from byte 0 after exception: timed out. Trace: Traceback (most recent call last):
