Splitting the package sounds like a good idea. How about the simpler package name "uri"?
Unfortunately, "uri" is already registered on Hackage.
in the interest of package name sanity we could add Network.URI to the uri package and use that as the base for network. Would be less confusing to users to have only one “something-uri” package.
Yes, but then the "uri" package currently only defines one module, Text.URI: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/uri/0.1.6/doc/html/Text-URI.html which is mostly similar and incompatible with Network.URI: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/network/2.4.0.1/doc/html/Network... Network.URI more completely implements the RFCs in that it handles relative and absolute URIs, and URI normalization. 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.). 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). Conrad.
