Sorry about that, I brought it up in issue #150[1] and had thought that
cabal-install was no longer a limiting factor on forcing SSL connections.
I've just added a workaround that disables the redirect for tarballs, so
that it should still work with cabal-install, while granting most users the
security guarantees of using SSL. I believe this will be a sufficient
workaround, but I'd appreciate if you could test and confirm that this
fixes the problem for you.

Hi,
Overnight there seems to have been a change to stackage where it's now issuing redirects from http to https URLs:
~$ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from stackage-lts-2.22 Warning: http error: Unable to handle redirect, unsupported scheme: https://www.stackage.org/snapshot/lts-2.22/00-index.tar.gz cabal: Failed to download http://www.stackage.org/snapshot/lts-2.22/00-index.tar.gz : ErrorMisc "Error HTTP code: 301"
My cabal doesn't seem to like https and I think it's a recentish version:
$ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.22.0.0 using version 1.22.0.0 of the Cabal library
I'm probably using a bit of an old workflow (and I know that LTS-2 is pretty old too) but is there any simple way of getting this working again?
Cheers,
