Comment(by guest):

 I think it's not about system wide configuration. My company has more
 sophisticated proxy policy - all my browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox) are
 configured to use autoconfiguration script, which is accessible in my
 intranet - this script does not define one proxy server and selects proxy
 based on some conditions. It appears that cabal is not using this script -
 as I see it's written in JS, so I suppose this bug will not be resolved as
 you probably aren't willing to add JS compiler to cabal - at least I
 wouldn't :) In the other hand this bug makes it more difficult for many
 companies to use haskell - at least for HP. Check out this:
