[Haskell-cafe] Problems with cabal and stackage

[David Turner]

Hi,

Overnight there seems to have been a change to stackage where it's now
issuing redirects from http to https URLs:

~$ cabal update
Downloading the latest package list from stackage-lts-2.22
Warning: http error: Unable to handle redirect, unsupported scheme:
https://www.stackage.org/snapshot/lts-2.22/00-index.tar.gz
cabal: Failed to download
http://www.stackage.org/snapshot/lts-2.22/00-index.tar.gz : ErrorMisc "Error
HTTP code: 301"


My cabal doesn't seem to like https and I think it's a recentish version:

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.22.0.0
using version 1.22.0.0 of the Cabal library

I'm probably using a bit of an old workflow (and I know that LTS-2 is
pretty old too) but is there any simple way of getting this working again?

Cheers,
