352,cabal-install has problems with some HTTP proxies,BMeph,,"For a few weeks I have had a problem where 'cabal update' fails every time, with an HTTP 403 error:

{{{
wbaety@SDRSPPC09 /c/cabal-install-0.5.2
$ cabal update -v3
Downloading package list from server
'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive'
Sending:
GET http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: cabal-install/0.5.1
Creating new connection to hackage.haskell.org
Received:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: text/html
cabal.exe: Failed to download index 'ErrorMisc ""Invalid HTTP code: (4,0,3)""'
}}}

Oddly, both wget and curl will retrieve the file just fine. I have attached a copy of both the curl and the cabal output.
