Re: darcs patch: Fallback onto simpleHTTP when Network.Browser fails

Er, I forgot to --edit-description, nor did I provide a long description. Basically, I've seen a ton of complaints (and no solutions) over the mailing list and IRC about this "recv: resource vanished (Connection reset by peer)" error when attempting to 'cabal update'. I tracked it down to a bug in Network.Browser that causes it to fail when behind a NAT-based router. On the other hand, Network.HTTP.simpleHTTP, while being less feature-rich, doesn't seem to have a problem with NAT. I've submitted a bug report to the maintainer of Network.HTTP, but for the time being, I think it's also prudent to include this simple (pun intended) workaround in cabal install as well. -steve On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 11:48 AM, Stephen Hicks wrote:
