I have written up the beginnings of some code to get Yahoo Finance
quotes, too. Perhaps we should compare notes, and try to put
something together that uses the best ideas from each attempt?

i am working on improving a module for getting Yahoo Finance quote

in the quote retrieval function, there are a few places i would like
to call out errors. in a trivial case i could return
IO (Maybe String)
with Nothing signifying any error state, or Just expressing the data
but i would like to be able to express some of these error cases in a
more structured manner
i know the Either type can be used in such a case(?), but i've had
some
problem locating a satisfactory example (if this is indeed
appropriate)
could one of the vets here provide a simplistic example expressing
error cases, preferrably in the IO Monad (in case there are any
gotchas there)?
thanks so much!
