I am finding that there are some (easily fixed) incompatibilities with my revised Network.URI module. (I also note that the HTTP module duplicates the Authority-parsing functionality that is also present in my Network.URI module, but that can be sorted out later.)
In my module, I changed the structure of the URI datatype, though I do provide functions to access components with their original names. Unfortunately, the HTTP module makes some use of the "value { component=value }" syntax to define new URI values, which is not compatible. If we are to adopt my version, these instances will need changing. This will, in turn, require some synchronization of the change-over.
Great, I wasn't happy about adding the URI authority parsing stuff to HTTP in the first place, but I didn't have your Network.URI module at the time.
My full codebase for HTTP and URI can be seen at: http://www.ninebynine.org/Software/HaskellUtils/Network/
My suggestion would be that we make the change-over by moving these to the library CVS as a single unit. But I guess we should see if the URI changes are going to cause any other similar problems.
I agree. I guess we need to decide how to host this. Make a network module repository at haskell-libs?
Do we have a stand-alone test harness for the HTTP code? I've been using the HXml Toolbox unit tests.
Not that I know of, but it would certainly be a good idea. /Bjorn
