I've completed the functionality of my proposed upgrade to Network.URI, though there are still a couple of issues that need to be resolved with the ongoing RFC2396bis work (none critical to the general functionality). This is still work-in-progress, but I'm airing it now to see if folks think it's an acceptable upgrade to the existing Network.URI module.

Sorry for not replying on this topic sooner.

I've taken a look at your replacement URI, and it looks great. The Haddock markup needs a little cleanup, but the interface looks fine.

Thanks. (I've started trying to apply Haddock markup in my own code, but I've not yet got round to actually generating the docs from it.)

Since it's mostly backwards compatible, there's no issue with upgrading it in place. (well, there's one small issue: it introduces a dependency from the network package on the parsec package, but that's not a big deal).

Hmmm... Parsec is pretty central to what I've done.

We'll arrange for CVS access so you can commit your new version to the repository.

OK. Another detail. Do you have a preferred form of licence for this. I've been putting my own applications out as GPL to date, but I imagine that the viral effect would be problematic for the compiler library. I'm happy to use any reasonable (open) licence. #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
