Further to my previous message: http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/libraries/2004-April/002039.html I realize that my previous testing didn't check that HTTP retrieval actually works (as opposed to compiles). I find that the HTTP module shipped with HXml Toolbox does NOT work with Hugs under MS-Windows. I don't know why, but I do find that HXml Toolbox works fine with a version of HTTP that Bjorn Bringert has been working on, in my case by editing file 'hparser/ProtocolHandlerHttpNative.hs': [[ -- [GK] use version of HTTP prepared for hierarchical libraries, -- that works on Windows. import Network.HTTP -- http modules import Network.Browser ]] I had to make a couple of modifications to the HTTP module relative to Bjorn's: [[ -- ** Changes by Graham Klyne: -- - export httpVersion -- - use new URI module (similar to old, but uses revised URI datatype) ]] I also found a bug in the compatibility interface function "authority" in my URI module. The working HTTP and URI code can be found here: http://www.ninebynine.org/Software/HaskellUtils/Network/ I also noticed, in passing, that HXml Toolbox does require a version of Hugs that supports Char values greater than 255. I have versions of the 20040109 Hugs distribution recompiled for Windows with this support (and enlarged code space), which can be found at: http://www.ninebynine.org/Software/FatHugs.html #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
