An attempt to fix #1962. I think the exception comes from ‘connect’ in ‘Network.Socket’. I doubt that the proposed error message is friendly enough. Ideas? Also, can ‘handleJust’ catch ‘IOException’s that are not related to http_proxy?

Perhaps it's better to solve this in HTTP itself? It gives decent error messages in other cases: $ export HTTP_PROXY=foo $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: openTCPConnection: host lookup failure for "foo" $ export HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:3128 $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: does not exist

I think so.

cabal: openTCPConnection: host lookup failure for "foo"

What version of network is it? I ran ‘grep -r “host lookup failure”’ on the source of 2.5.0.0 and didn’t find anything.

$ cabal sandbox hc-pkg list | grep network network-2.5.0.0 It probably uses perror or something like it.

It probably uses perror or something like it.

gai_strerror(3) or hstrerror(3) depending on whether ipv6 support was found or not, I'd think. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
