I knew that the URI code had been written a while ago, but never realized how extensive the changes were! Great job. Now the only problem is that the module doesn't expose the functions we would need; such as Network.URI.host, for instance. Would it be possible to factor those parser out into a Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Rfc3986 module? Maybe we could even merge those parsers with the ones I have here: http://cryp.to/hsemail/docs/index.html RFC grammars are often very similar after all. Peter P.S.: In the definition host = ipLiteral <|> try ipv4address <|> regName it looks as if the 'try' modifier should be given for the first alternative; not for the second. I may be wrong though. _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
