[darcs-devel] [issue771] HTTP + proxy server hangs (2.0.0pre4)

[Eric Kow]

New submission from Eric Kow <eric.kow at gmail.com>:

I think this patch breaks darcs for me at work, because the current version of
the HTTP library does not like our proxy server.  The result is that darcs, with
any command, just hangs... [as do helper programs like ./list_authors].

  * add phone-home capability to darcs on failure.
  The idea is to check for the status of the darcs version, and print an
  appropriate recommendation (e.g. please upgrade, this is a seriously old
  version of darcs rather than "please send in a bug report").
  
  This feature requires the http package be installed.  Perhaps we should
  require this.

    M ./configure.ac -2
    M ./src/Darcs/Bug.lhs -6 +19

Hah! I remember my prior zeal for switching to HTTP.  Payback!
