Any users of Network.CGI here? I would like to propose replacing the current Network.CGI module with what is now known as Network.NewCGI [2]. This has been mentioned briefly before [1]. The new module is backwards compatible with the old one (except for the export of Text.Html.Html, which is now Text.XHtml.Html). Here is what I would like to do: - Remove Network.CGI from the network package. - Change the name of Network.NewCGI to Network.CGI - Add the cgi package to http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/ - Add the xhtml package [3] to http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/ This is needed since the cgi package uses it to generate error pages. Any comments, suggestions, or objections? Here is a summary of the features of NewCGI: - Access to CGI parameters (e.g. form input) from both GET and POST requests. - Access to CGI environment variables. - Ability to set arbitrary response headers. - Support for HTTP cookies. - An efficient implementation of multipart/form-data using Data.ByteString. This allows for efficient handling of file uploads. - Wrapper functions for compatibility with the existing Network.CGI module. - A CGI monad transformer. - Basic exception handling and logging. - Low-level run functions that allow using NewCGI programs with protocols other than CGI, for example FastCGI [4]. /Björn [1] http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2006-May/005391.html [2] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~bringert/darcs/haskell-cgi/doc/ [3] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~bringert/darcs/haskell-xhtml/doc/ [4] http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~bringert/darcs/haskell-fastcgi/doc/
