#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 duncan): Note that it is using a proxy server, that's what these two lines are about: {{{ X-Cache: MISS from mds-swf1.mds.aw.loc Via: 1.0 mds-swf1.mds.aw.loc:8080 (http_scan/4.0.2.6.19) }}} It is however a transparent proxy, ie cabal itself is trying to connect directly to `hackage.haskell.org` but your network setup transparently redirects that to `mds-swf1.mds.aw.loc:8080` which is an http proxy. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/562#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
