cable download error (not support redirect)

[zhanxw]

I notice that cabal does not support redirect:

cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
Warning: http error: Unable to handle redirect, unsupported scheme:
https://m-proxy4.swmed.edu:10000/mwg-internal/de5fs23hu73ds/plugin?target=Auth&reason=Auth&ClientID=1513153200&ttl=43200&url=aHR0cDovL2hhY2thZ2UuaGFza2VsbC5vcmcvcGFja2FnZXMvYXJjaGl2ZS8wMC1pbmRleC50YXIuZ3o=&rnd=1406568676
cabal: Failed to download
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz : ErrorMisc "Error
HTTP code: 302"

I have set up $proxy_http correctly. The university proxy does not require authentication.
It seems cabal does not support HTTP redirect. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Looks like a bug in the HTTP library. Can you please open a ticket on their bug tracker?

[zhanxw]

Opened a ticket for HTTP library.
haskell/HTTP#70
Thanks.

Just to note here that this is (probably) because the redirect is to an https site, which is not supported by the HTTP library - see haskell/HTTP#17.

Thanks. I agree that's the reason.
