I think that, instead, WAI should be defined in a separate package, that should contain:
1) WAI specification 2) WAI data types (hyena.Network.Wai.hs) 3) Some utility functions (see Python wsgiref module) 4) Standard implementation for CGI
I agree. This has been my plan all along. I put the definition in the same package as Hyena because I wanted to use Hyena to explore the API and it was more convenient to do so when all the files were in the same package.
One last note. I have some doubts about the name WAI. It means "Web application interface", but I think that the word "Gateway" should appear in it.
I don't have a strong attachment to the name. I'm not sure what the word "gateway" means in this context, probably because I haven't studied CGI in depth.
Something like: HSGI ("Haskell Server Gataway Interface", that can also be read as "HTTP Server Gataway Interface"), or simply HGI ("Haskell Gateway Interface").
These all sound like reasonable names. Cheers, Johan
