 I have a Privoxy proxy running on localhost, set in the $http_proxy env
 var. Running cabal update gets a partial 00-index.tar.gz file:

 The resulting file is 1078 bytes.

 Running wget on the file gives:

 The file is downloaded correctly.

 Versions: cabal-install is 0.6.2, Cabal is 1.6.0.2, and I have HTTP
 version 4000.0.7 installed, though I am not sure if that is the one cabal-
 install is compiled against. GHC is 6.10.3.
