If someone could figure out the right fix and send it to the maintainer that'd be great. We do need a decent working pure-haskell http package. For one thing cabal-install uses the HTTP package and it has to work for downloading dozens or hundreds of packages in a single session. As an aside, cabal-install could use the Network.Browser module better, by using a single call to browse for all downloads rather than one per download. As I understand it, that'd allow it to re-use a single connection.
