If you have a moment, could you check if this bug is fixed in the HTTP-4000.x release? Or send us the bug report you previously sent to the maintainer. The maintainer switched of course so I'm not sure if any reports got dropped in between. The current plan is to use HTTP-4000.x for cabal-install, so we want to make sure it is working as well as possible.
