Hi,
I just tried:
C:\Neil\hoogle>cabal update Downloading package list from server 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive' Warning: invalid http proxy uri: "wwwcache.sns.york.ac.uk:8080" Warning: proxy uri must be http with a hostname Warning: ignoring http proxy, trying a direct connection
Obviously it tried to go via the York cache, which is wrong. So I checked the IE proxy settings, and found the attached screenshot.
i.e. the settings are as mentioned, but the checkbox to use those settings is disabled. If you tell me which bit of the registry this gets read from, I'll happily copy those keys.
See Hackage/HttpUtils.hs hive: CURRENT_USER path: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings key: ProxyServer Can you tell us what is the nearby key that enables/disables use of the proxy? Duncan
