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. There is an extensive test suite that runs without fault under Hugs and GHCi. This module duplicates the general functionality of the old GHC Network.URI module, and adds: - functions to parse different categories of URI (relative, absolute, URI-reference, etc.) - functions to test for different kinds of URI (returning Bool instead of Maybe URI). - 'relativeFrom', a function to calculate a relative URI with respect to a given base, to complement the existing 'relativeTo'. - functions to perform some common forms of URI normalization. - default behaviour is to not display the password field associated with userinfo in a URI. (This area needs some tidying up). The structure of the underlying URI implementation has changed quite a lot, but I've also defined some accessor functions that reflect the original structure fields.
