#748: cabal does not use JavaScript proxy autoconfiguration ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very hard (<1 week) | Ghcversion: 6.12.3 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: unknown => very hard (<1 week) Comment: If you're able to pick a static proxy then you can set it with the env var. I know some other corporate users do this even though their browsers use the funky JS method. Yes, I don't intend to add a JS interpreter but in principle it's plausible that we could bind to the IE HTTP library and take advantage of its proxy support (which does use a JS interpreter). I'd probably accept a patch to do that. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/748#comment:6 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
