[Haskell-beginners] Get responsecode(Int) from simpleHTTP's Response

[Jacques du Rand]

This is great works perfectly !
I'm so new at haskell its scary !

One last question i dont *understand* one line ( just the right side )

       let (x,y,z) = rspCode response

1) If i look at the documentation: Sorry for HTML. I see the constructors
of Response and below it rspCode,rspReason,rspHeaders etc Are
those parters or functions ?

2) I see the new version has a getResponseCode functions like
getResponseBody with the signature:
getResponseCode :: Result (Response a) -> IO ResponseCode
getResponseCode (Left err) = fail (show err)
getResponseCode (Right r)  = return (rspCode r)

What does this mean in the signature  *Result (Response a)*

Thanks again
Jacques
