Ok, on my "https" branch here: https://github.com/gbaz/Cabal/tree/https

Looks like a good first step. Consider using machinery in Distribution.Simple.Program.Db for searching for curl/wget in path or in user-provided location. I'd also use something like data Transport = { getHttp :: URI -> FilePath -> IO (Int, String), putHttp :: URI -> FilePath -> ...} configureTransport :: ProgramDB -> IO Transport instead of switching on TransportType in getHttp/uploadToUri.
