[Haskell-cafe] source code for haskell web server?

[Pasqualino 'Titto' Assini]

There is also the HAppS application server and the HaskellNet library.

Would not be possible to merge the protocol-handling parts of all these
libraries into a generic Internet Haskell server that could then be expanded
to support CGIs, transactions, etc.?

Regards,

     titto
