You will have to write:

doMeth (Method "GET") = ... doMeth (Method "PUT") = ...

Or (I assume, haven't tested) if you insist on renaming the methods: doMeth m | m == getMethod = ... | m == putMethod = ... (or using a case statement, of course) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
