Re: Proposal: splitting the network package

Text.URI includes a few functions for parsing (key,value) pairs for CGI query parameters, which iirc is not actually part of the URI specification, but rather part of the CGI conventions. I think these query parameters are better handled by the "cgi" package, or by any of the web frameworks (Yesod, Snap etc.).

Also the uri package depends on the utf8-string package. Since Network.URI is used in cabal-install, this extra dependency may make bootstrapping harder.

I think the only sensible way to use the "uri" package name would be to replace it (ie. remove Text.URI and add Network.URI).

Does anybody know Voker57 and/or JaroslavGridin? --Kazu
