Ganesh has said the same thing. I'll accept a patch to have it consult the same env var as unix does, overriding what it would look up in the registry. I looked into using the info in the registry properly but it turns out to be more than a little difficult, requiring a javascript interpreter or linking to the MS HTTP library (which seems to need support in ghc/cabal for linking to assemblies). http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/460 Duncan _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
