re: [Haskell-cafe] HTTP package freezes on Windows 7

15 Mar 2010

      Scrap my original query - the problem isn't as black & white as I thought.

The below works fine - I've changed the response type from json to 
xml.... strange, but for some reason downloading json doesn't work.... 
it's fine on Linux.

I'm guessing this is more likely to be a Windows issue rather than a 
Haskell issue - any ideas?

import qualified Network.HTTP as HTTP

main :: IO ()
main
    = do
      x <- getLocation
      print x

getLocation = (HTTP.simpleHTTP $ HTTP.getRequest url) >>= 
HTTP.getResponseBody
     where
         url = 
"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=London&sensor=false"
