Re: [Haskell-cafe] HTTP Redirect With HTTPS Rejected

You should be CCing the author and creator (different people) of the library. Not everyone in the Haskell universe is subscribed to -cafe or any other ML. Cheers, Thomas On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 1:49 PM, aditya siram wrote:

The problem is that any page that that responds with 301.302,303 or 307 and redirects to an "https" is rejected by the library.

The code that does the rejection is in "Network.Browser" on line 865. It only accepts "http:". Why was this design decision made? It makes it impossible for me to use this library for my project.

Hi all, I am trying to simply download a web page using the HTTP library. It works fine with "http://www.google.com" but a redirecting page like "http://gmail.com" creates an error. Code is at http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=27864#a27864.

Thanks , -deech
