Congratulations to the new release, and may I say that the homepage looks smashing! :D With the work of Antoine Latter's happstack-wai (https://github.com/aslatter/happstack-wai), it's likely possible to serve happstack applications through my (still in development) SPDY WAI server ( https://github.com/kolmodin/spdy) although I have not tested this combination yet. Before I saw happstack-wai I had a quick look at the happstack API and saw that the Request keeps the request body as a (lazy?) String. I'm curious to the rationale for this, as one could expect a lazy bytestring would be more efficient, and some kind of stream would better support error handling (given that the String is indeed lazy). Sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched the mailing list without finding anything. Feels like Happstack has been reborn, thanks again! Cheers, Lennart
