[Haskell-beginners] Fetching a URI

[Adam Keys]

I'm trying to write a wrapper for a REST service. However, I find  
myself stumped by the simplest part: merely performing a GET on a URI.

I'm using the HTTP Cabal package. It specifies an example like so:

> simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://www.haskell.org/") >>= fmap (take  
> 100) . getResponseBody


However, it seems I'm either importing the library incorrectly or  
there is a discrepancy between the documentation and the library. I  
can't seem to call getRequest.

Am I missing something obvious here?
