[web-devel] ALPHA: http-types 0.1

[Michael Snoyman]

Alright, everything seems fine to me. Some more comments:

* Besides the fact that I think HttpCIByteString is too verbose, it
presents another problem: I cannot transparently switch over to it in
WAI and http-enumerator. If you kept the same name (CIByteString), I
could simply switch over to your version without any breaking changes.
* I like methodGet et al.
* Do you want to consider some parsing functions? I can provide you
the code. Some things I would imagine would be:
    * parseQueryString :: ByteString -> [(ByteString, Maybe
ByteString)] (I'm not sure if in practice anyone cares about the Maybe
btw, but you are right that it is more theoretically correct)
    * renderQueryString :: [(ByteString, Maybe ByteString)] -> ByteString
    * parsePath :: ByteString -> [String], which would do all
splitting-on-slash, percent decoding and UTF-8 decoding
    * renderPath :: [String] -> ByteString, which would be the reverse
of parsePath
    * renderPathQuery :: [String] -> [(ByteString, ByteString)] -> ByteString
    * parseHttpAccept :: ByteString -> [ByteString]
* Are you planning on adding headers as well?

Basically, feel free to raid Network.Wai.Parse[1].
