Hi Everyone, I'm new to the list, been on irc a bit. I'm still learning haskell. Wanted to say Hi before getting in to things...
I'm interested in real-world programs in haskell, especially ones where security and formal methods are important. I'm looking at web servers right now. I found a copy of Simon Marlow's HWS on haskell.org's cvs server. I know there's a newer plugin version, but I cant find a working link to the actual code. I've been able to get the code to compile after a while, but it still has some warnings of deprecated features which I havent been able to get rid of (if anyone's interested in helping out, let me know). Anyway, I configured it an ran it and it works, although I have noticed two security flaws in it which need fixing. Is it possible there is a newer version with these flaws fixed?
I also tried installing HWS, did not succeed in using the default build procedure because of too many dependencies, and also getting the warnings about the deprecated features you mention. Eventually I got it running but it ran into heap overflow after some time of running. :-(
I'm trying to decided if I should sink some time into HWS or if I should use another server.
The web-server provided with WASH works for me, but it is hard to compile, because there are some huge Haskell modules included.
