Hi
* tagsoup
Broken in many ways. Does not support chunked encoding that is mandated by HTTP RFC. Will be incompatible with numerous HTTP servers, and the manual states as much. Port 80 hardcoded.
I'd just like to stress that the one in tagsoup shouldn't be used for anything! It is only there to be a demo of tagsoup parsing, since otherwise an HTML parser is a bit dull. The haddock currently says: "It is very restricted, and it not intended for proper use" I guess I can make the warning a bit more violent. (And fix the grammar...) As soon as someone decides what is the answer to your HTTP question, the one in tagsoup will be removed. Thanks Neil
