ErrorMisc "Unsucessful HTTP code: 400" on cabal update

Having installed Haskell Platform 2013.2.0.0, and using Win7 cmd:

When running the command "cabal update" I got the following output:

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal: Failed to download http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz
: ErrorMisc "Unsucessful HTTP code: 400"

To confirm that the link was working, I visited it on my web browser.

At this stage, I'm sorta stuck as to how to resolve the issue.

Also, I'm not sure whether this would help or not, but here's what I get when I run "cabal update -v3"

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org

I could solve this problem in my machine by disabling the antivirus and firewall, hope it will help.
