Comment(by guest):
I think it's not about system wide configuration. My company has more
sophisticated proxy policy - all my browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox) are
configured to use autoconfiguration script, which is accessible in my
intranet - this script does not define one proxy server and selects proxy
based on some conditions. It appears that cabal is not using this script -
as I see it's written in JS, so I suppose this bug will not be resolved as
you probably aren't willing to add JS compiler to cabal - at least I
wouldn't :) In the other hand this bug makes it more difficult for many
companies to use haskell - at least for HP. Check out this:
