[Haskell-cafe] tried to use the example given in the source of network.browser

22 Oct 2010

      This is what is in HTTPbis/Network/Browser.hs
...
do
     rsp <- Network.Browser.browse $ do
              setAllowRedirects True -- handle HTTP redirects
              request $ getRequest "http://google.com/"
     fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp)
And how I changed it slightly to test it out
...
import Network.HTTP
import Network.Browser
...
main =
    do
    rsp <- Network.Browser.browse $ do
             setAllowRedirects True -- handle HTTP redirects
             request $ getRequest "http://google.com/"
    fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp)
but I got this errortest.lhs:10:39:
    Couldn't match expected type `Network.Stream.Result (Response [a])'
           against inferred type `(Network.URI.URI, Response String)'
    In the first argument of `getResponseBody', namely `rsp'
    In the second argument of `fmap', namely `(getResponseBody rsp)'
    In the expression: fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp)

how did I get this error? I'm perplexed as this came right from the source.
