Hi,
I'm trying to use cabal-install on two machines, Debian Sid and OS X 10.5, but I am unable to run "update" on either. Most other commands seem to work fine, but the networking for "update" gives an error on both machines, completely independently:
Downloading package list from server 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive' cabal: recv: resource vanished (Connection reset by peer)
Both machines are using a vanilla Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3, a very simple prosumer router. Obviously, the router works fine for everything else, and has been running flawlessly for ages.
This is using cabal-install from darcs and the cabal 1.4 branch.
We're using the Haskell HTTP package, so it might be worth trying to construct a cut-down test case using that. Using update with the -v3 flag should dump the http conversation which might give us some indication of which phase goes wrong. Duncan
