[Haskell-cafe] Fwd: cabal-install sends invalid proxy password

Hello,

I was surprised to discover that `cabal-install' -- a popular utility for installing Hackage packages -- cannot work with HTTP proxies. Despite all the necessary code linked in.

`cabal update' command returns HTTP 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) error. The problem is explained below and patches follow.

See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/10420 No response so far. (I start to suspect that there is just one "proxied haskeller" subscribed to `libraries' and `cabal-dev' lists:) -- vvv
