ConnectionTimeout with "req" even though "curl" and browser work just fine

[cideM]

Hi,

maybe I'm doing something wrong but in this example repo I prepared the request I'm making in main fails with a ConnectionTimeout error even though it works with any other program, language and CLI tool. Reproducing it should be fairly issue with the instructions from the README

Further information:

• Works on MacOS and Arch with the instructions from the README
• Fails on NixOS
• Doesn't work with wreq and http-conduit either, always the same error
• Works with some URLs though

This does not work

Prelude Control.Lens Network.Wreq> r <- get "https://www.google.com"

This works

Prelude Control.Lens Network.Wreq> opts = defaults & param "q" .~ ["tetris"] & param "language" .~ ["haskell"]
Prelude Control.Lens Network.Wreq> r <- getWith opts "https://api.github.com/search/repositories"

Problem went away from one program run to the next. I'll report back with some network debug info when it inevitably comes back
