Hi Valery,

nice one -- sterling work chasing this one down and providing a suggested fix :)

Thanks to both of you!

I've got a tentative fix in for this, not disabling closing altogether (that wouldn't be compliant with Connection:close handling), but delaying it until EOF is reached...at least that's the intent. It may not be lazy enough, but I'm unable to verify either way right now.

If anyone's interested in testing, the repo contains the changes made --

git://code.galois.com/HTTPbis.git/

sorry for being so slow in dealing with this, btw.

Valery, if you have a chance to check this, that'd be great then hopefully for cabal-install we'd just specify a dependency on the next HTTP package version. Duncan
