 For a few weeks I have had a problem where 'cabal update' fails every
 time, with an HTTP 403 error:

 {{{
 wbaety at SDRSPPC09 /c/cabal-install-0.5.2
 $ cabal update -v3
 Downloading package list from server
 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive'
 Sending:
 GET http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz HTTP/1.1
 User-Agent: cabal-install/0.5.1
 Creating new connection to hackage.haskell.org
 Received:
 HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
 Content-Type: text/html
 cabal.exe: Failed to download index 'ErrorMisc "Invalid HTTP code:
 (4,0,3)"'
 }}}

 Oddly, both wget and curl will retrieve the file just fine. I have
 attached a copy of both the curl and the cabal output.
