Hi,
I know that Cabal is currently looking very seriously at proxies etc, but is there any way to override the proxies that Cabal uses on a temporary basis? Many work environments have a fairly complex proxy script that handles things like VPN correctly, and it would be nice to override the Cabal proxy settings without changing them in IE.
Ganesh has said the same thing. I'll accept a patch to have it consult the same env var as unix does, overriding what it would look up in the registry. I looked into using the info in the registry properly but it turns out to be more than a little difficult, requiring a javascript interpreter or linking to the MS HTTP library (which seems to need support in ghc/cabal for linking to assemblies). http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/460 Duncan
