Research direction
Start by reviewing the related issue #14 and the cabal update request flow described in this report, then reproduce the failure with HTTP-4000.2.17 through a squid2 proxy. Done means the request no longer fails when squid closes the connection after a cached 301 response.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This is related to #14, which may have not been fixed properly. When using cabal update built with HTTP-4000.2.17 and using a squid2 proxy, I get cabal: does not exist. A friend of mine did some debugging and found out:
it seems that cabal does a GET http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz
squid responds with a cache hit 301 and closes the connection.
cabal tries to use pipelining and fails
it doesn't try a new connection
It does not happen with squid3, or perl’s HTTP::Proxy.
