I want to add a session cookie header to the response of staticApp.

Now, I know that adding a "session" to a static file doesn't make sense.

I just figured I'd set the session once on the splash page, rather than risk generating multiple sessions for the subsequently fetched "dynamic" resources. (They're actually static files, but per-user copies of the static files.)

I was maybe hoping for something along the lines of:

do

  response <- (staticApp $ defaultWebAppSettings ".") request

  return $ response { responseHeaders = sessionCookie : responseHeaders response }

But that will tell me "`responseHeaders' is not a record selector".

staticApp returns either ResponseFile, or ResponseBuilder (304 "Not Modified").  I could import Network.Wai.Internal, pattern match on those, and return those w/ the added header.

That seems a bit crufty, though - was hoping someone could suggest a more elegant solution?

Maybe some Lens or Functor instance across a response's headers, I dunno.
