Changes (by duncan):

  * priority:  normal => low
  * difficulty:  hard (< 1 day) => very hard (<1 week)
  * ghcversion:  6.8.3 =>
  * version:  1.2.3.0 =>
  * milestone:  => _|_

Comment:

 This looks to be too hard. The workaround of setting an HTTP env var is
 apparently acceptable. A proper solution is not impossible but would need
 quite a bit of time to implement.
