[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#740010: Acknowledgement (catching HttpExceptions doesn't work in DAV monad)

[Joey Hess]

The test case turns out to have a bug, that the type checker can't tell
us about. It catches the HttpException from http-conduit, which is not
the same as the HttpException from http-client, which is what DAV
currently uses.

DAV used to use http-conduit, and back then I tested my code and it
caught the exception. Then http-client came along, made a different
HttpException for some reason, and when DAV switched to it, my code
broke.

What a mess. :/
