Summary: Can't split a string literal

Initial Comment:
If I try to split a string literal across two lines,
using the syntax of two \ seperated by white space, I 
get the error mesage:
error in character literal

The code lines in question looks like:

    hPutStr h $
        "GET "++path uri++" HTTP/1.1\r\n        \Host: "++authority uri++"\r\n        \User-Agent: Haber/0.2\r\n\r\n"

There is a known problem with using string gaps in 
conjunction with cpp - see section 4.12.13 in the user's 
guide.

If that's not the problem, could you send or attach the 
actual file which caused the error? Thanks.
