Thank you for the reply Ertugrul, sadly that didn't seem to help. :(

Here are my changes:
import qualified Control.Exception.Lifted as L
...

     body <- L.try (simpleHttp "http://www.google.com") :: IO (Either 
L.SomeException Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal.ByteString)


I did the full qualified because the first time I tried your suggestion 
I just "Control.Exception.Lifted" and I got the same error as I'm 
sharing below.

playhaven.hs:51:19:

Thanks for being willing to help me with this.
