Because I had the methods written for network and http already (this is just old code of mine I'm open-sourcing), and I didn't want to bother with reading the source for hxt-curl or hxt-http (since neither has documentation and I'm not convinced that they can do exactly what I want). If you feel strongly about hxt-curl or hxt-http I would love to hear why! I'm not opposed to using those instead. Adit On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 1:30 AM, Yves Parès wrote:

Why do you make your own overlay to download files via HTTP? HXT has backends (hxt-http or hxt-curl) to do that.

*Blurb:*

HandsomeSoup is the library I wish I had when I started parsing HTML in Haskell. It is built on top of HXT and adds a few functions that make is easier to work with HTML. Most importantly, it adds CSS selectors to HXT. The goal of HandsomeSoup is to be a complete CSS2 parser for HXT (it is very close to this right now).
