[web-devel] Re: Using a 'real' parser for URL parsing

Also, I decide to merge your patch into the latest code base to make discussion easier. The urlt code now lives here: http://src.seereason.com/web-routes A, darcs pull http://src.seereason.com/web-routes, in the old urlt directory should get you updated. - jeremy On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 5:04 PM, Jeremy Shaw wrote:

Hello,

Is there some clean way to implement a function like:

c2s :: GenParser Char () a -> GenParser String () a

so that we can use Char parsers inside the URL Parser?

the trivial implementation would be something like:

http://moonpatio.com:8080/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=8965#a8965

but that does not do a very good job of reporting the position of parse errors.

Hey,

I've added a darcs patch (I hope it worked, I'm a darcs newbie) to switch the URL parser to parsec. This simplifies the code a lot. I've used String's (i.e. the URL path components) as tokens for the parser. What do you guys think?

I'm sorry I haven't been replying to the type-safe URL handling, I was busy with writing this week. The discussion has become quite large! I'll see if I can catch up somewhere this weekend.
