Does anyone know where I could find the source code for the Haskell web server described in the papers "Tackling the Awkward Squad" by SPJ and "Writing High-Performance Server Applications in Haskell, Case Study: A Haskell Web Server" by Simon Marlow?
I dug up an old copy of hws from the haskell CVS and a copy of hws-wp from an old CVSweb and got both to build on modern ghc. I'm using HWS as my server and have a small page with the sources which include my patches:
Feel free to contact me with questions or suggestions.
Since there are a lot of modifications of HWS around now, it seems to be worthwhile to combine the efforts. E.g. I adapted the HWS adaption provided by WASH http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~thiemann/WASH/#wsp for my needs. For instance in Request.hs I removed the call to 'Network.URI.unEscapeString' (which is 'deHex' in fptools/HWS/Request.hs, but 'deHex' is 'id') because that affects interpretation of CGI parameters. I also think that this package needs some cleanup and Cabal. What about a darcs repository at http://darcs.haskell.org/ ?
