#352: cabal-install has selective problems with update under Win32 ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.4.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: cabal update HTTP 403 Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- For a few weeks I have had a problem where 'cabal update' fails every time, with an HTTP 403 error: {{{ wbaety@SDRSPPC09 /c/cabal-install-0.5.2 $ cabal update -v3 Downloading package list from server 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive' Sending: GET http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: cabal-install/0.5.1 Creating new connection to hackage.haskell.org Received: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden Content-Type: text/html cabal.exe: Failed to download index 'ErrorMisc "Invalid HTTP code: (4,0,3)"' }}} Oddly, both wget and curl will retrieve the file just fine. I have attached a copy of both the curl and the cabal output. -- Reported by BMeph on 16 September 2008 @ 14:03 (-7:00) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/352 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
