As far as I know it's impossible to solve it simply in Cabal in a multi-platform way. We just have to write in installation instructions that we require libcurl, or to install it with -f -curl. For Windows (where the libcurl dependency is tricky), I'll provide more detailed instructions. Making HTTP the default is not currently a good idea: is really slower. I think it will wait for 2.3.
