* Request/response header key. In WAI, I use data CIByteString = CIByteString !ByteString !ByteString, one version being the lowercase, the other the original.

I'm using Microsoft kernel-mode http server (http.sys). They have "known headers" enumeration and "unknown headers" string. Now, while http.sys parses requests and gives me enum keys for "known headers" I have to unparse them back strings to adapt them to WAI. It's not too much critical, but I would prefer the header key to be an ADT.

Cheers, Kyra.

Do you mean you're implementing a WAI handler on top of http.sys? That's cool, would you consider releasing it on Hackage? I think the header key especially would be a bad fit for an ADT: there are *far* too many standard ones to really include all of them, and much more than request methods, new ones are made up. Just look at all the special handling in http-types for the request methods, and imagine writing those extra lines for *every* supported header. Michael
