Hey Michael,
I'd like to announce the first release of http-enumerator[1], an HTTP client package with support for HTTPS connections. This release is very experimental; bug reports and API feedback are very welcome.
This sounds nice (I'll certainly try it out). A non-technical question - why have you named it http-enumerator? If I've understood it right, this is kinda equivalent of curl/wget (for http/https) right?
There's been a tendency for packages using the enumerator package[1] to suffix their name with -enumerator. In this case, I wouldn't have bothered, but I frankly couldn't think of a better name for it. I'd considered https (like the HTTP package, but has SSL support), but I thought that would be too confusing. If you have a recommendation, I'd consider renaming.
