I'd be much obliged if you could, and I do apologise for leaving all of this just hanging.
I've just done this. Thanks for the blessing. 4000.0.10 should fix the reported issue with fail and Either, and bumps the base dep to build with GHC 7.0
No time available for Haskell projects these days unfortunately, Opera engine development taking up most of my waking hours. Getting someone to take over HTTP would be best, or maybe rewrite it altogether..it is not the prettiest thing around :)
I'm not particularly keen on taking over maintainership, but I guess if noone else wants it I could take it over and do at least minimal updates like this. Any other volunteers? Cheers, Ganesh

That's great. Any chance you could also look at this one, which appears to be a pretty serious bug for some people, and has a patch? http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4251 Cheers, Simon

Sure, I'll do it this weekend. Given that the HTTP test suite is pretty minimal, we'll just have to hope for no unintended side-effects though (which also applies to the previous change, of course). Ganesh
