[web-devel] Examples and/or tutorials for WAI

Hi Thomas,

In Hoogle I use, responseLBS to construct responses (from Wai), and
responseFlatten to deconstruct them:

responseFlatten :: Response -> IO (Status, ResponseHeaders, LBString)
responseFlatten r = responseEnumerator r $ \s hs -> do
       builders <- consume
       return (s, hs, toLazyByteString $ mconcat builders)

Now you can avoid knowledge of anything to do with enumerators etc.
(which I still don't understand!)

Thanks, Neil
