The key point under discussion was what kind of interface the HTTP library should expose: synchronous, asynchronous? Lazy, strict?
isn't it possible to implement simplest (strict sync) interface as base and then add higher levels if they are complicated enough ? (otherwise it should be simpler to do the same in each application / 3rd-aprty lib) in particular, we have a long-standing problem of customized io manager (instead of current io thread) which should work with any async i/o method (kqueue and so on) and this manager should be used for low-level implementation (i.e. we will have sync interface but internally all i/o will be done async via this thread and many haskell lightweight thread can work simultaneously) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
