I'm not so sure any more.
I've rolled back to patched HTTP-4000.0.8, the one with connection closing commented out in `sendHTTP_notify'. I need this proxy downloading thing to just work...
Cabal client reinstalled with "patched" HTTP-4000.0.8 was still having occasional failures today. My proxy-POC.hs always succeeded, while cabal failed quite often with familiar cabal: Codec.Compression.Zlib: premature end of compressed stream This means that proxy-POC.hs is not trustworthy: it doesn't expose the bug in 100% cases. I am going to roll back even further tomorrow: I'll patch [1] cabal-install to use strict ByteStrings and see if /that/ does the job. (I'm not sure in anything any more.)

I suspect tempering the notion of close and doing a socket shutdown is the way forward here.

I've installed squid proxy server. Gotta make this bug exposable... -- Regards, vvv
