Writing this from my phone, so I'll be brief.

I'm OK with the name CIByteString, I just thought the Http would clarify that this is not safe for different encodings. But I can change this.

Parsing/rendering sounds like a good idea. I will probably use different function names, but you can set up aliases in wai-extra, right?

Yes, for functions I don't care what you name things. It's specifically data constructors that breaks backwards compatibility.

Headers are already there, no? You're confusing me.

I was talking about the semi-exhaustive list of headers that people often request, eg hdrAccept = "Accept", hdrContentType = "Content-Type", etc. It was brought up in the original thread.

Thanks for the nice feedback!

Alright, everything seems fine to me. Some more comments:

* Besides the fact that I think HttpCIByteString is too verbose, it presents another problem: I cannot transparently switch over to it in WAI and http-enumerator. If you kept the same name (CIByteString), I could simply switch over to your version without any breaking changes. * I like methodGet et al. * Do you want to consider some parsing functions? I can provide you the code. Some things I would imagine would be:    * parseQueryString :: ByteString -> [(ByteString, Maybe ByteString)] (I'm not sure if in practice anyone cares about the Maybe btw, but you are right that it is more theoretically correct)    * renderQueryString :: [(ByteString, Maybe ByteString)] -> ByteString    * parsePath :: ByteString -> [String], which would do all splitting-on-slash, percent decoding and UTF-8 decoding    * renderPath :: [String] -> ByteString, which would be the reverse of parsePath    * renderPathQuery :: [String] -> [(ByteString, ByteString)] -> ByteString    * parseHttpAccept :: ByteString -> [ByteString] * Are you planning on adding headers as well?

Basically, feel free to raid Network.Wai.Parse[1].
