 I think HTTP can solve this in a better way, instead of using

    #ifdef NETWORK23
    uriDefaultTo a b = maybe a id (a `relativeTo` b)
    #else
    uriDefaultTo a b = a `relativeTo` b
    #endif

it could use

    #ifdef MIN_VERSION_network(2,4,0)
    uriDefaultTo a b = a `relativeTo` b
    #else
    uriDefaultTo a b = maybe a id (a `relativeTo` b)
    #endif

That way it will compile on both old and new network versions without any
user interventions (including cabal flag).
