An attempt to fix #1962. I think the exception comes from ‘connect’ in ‘Network.Socket’.

Perhaps it's better to solve this in HTTP itself? It gives decent error messages in other cases: $ export HTTP_PROXY=foo $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: openTCPConnection: host lookup failure for "foo" $ export HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:3128 $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: does not exist
