Just wanted to give everyone a last chance to give input on WAI 0.4 before its release.

Hi Michael,

What's the role of the errorHandler :: String -> IO () in the Request type: https://github.com/snoyberg/wai/blob/master/Network/Wai.hs#L73 ? It seems a bit odd to have this in a request.

Thanks,

Bas

The idea is to allow the server to give the application a general way of logging error messages. Frankly, I don't personally use it at all, and it was a relic from when I was trying to merge the original WAI (proposed by Johan) and Hack. Do people have ideas on how to make it more useful, or perhaps a better name for it? This is probably a good area for improvement. Michael
