#562: cabal-install update fails going through a HTTP proxy (but not consistently) ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: acid2 | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by acid2): Just a quick update on this. If I change my http_proxy variable from wwwcache.lancs.ac.uk to wwwcache3.lancs.ac.uk, this problem doesn't happen. It seems that somewhere in the haskell code, something is tripping up by the fact that wwwcache.lancs.ac.uk is actually a round-robin dispatch (or something...) to other proxy servers. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/562#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
