- <longdescription>
- The HTTP package supports client-side web programming in Haskell. It lets you set up
- HTTP connections, transmitting requests and processing the responses coming back, all
- from within the comforts of Haskell. It's dependent on the network package to operate,
- but other than that, the implementation is all written in Haskell.
-
- A basic API for issuing single HTTP requests + receiving responses is provided. On top
- of that, a session-level abstraction is also on offer (the @BrowserAction@ monad);
- it taking care of handling the management of persistent connections, proxies,
- state (cookies) and authentication credentials required to handle multi-step
- interactions with a web server.
-
- The representation of the bytes flowing across is extensible via the use of a type class,
- letting you pick the representation of requests and responses that best fits your use.
- Some pre-packaged, common instances are provided for you (@ByteString@, @String@.)
-
- Here's an example use:
-
- &gt;
- &gt; do
- &gt; rsp &lt;- Network.HTTP.simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://www.haskell.org/")
- &gt; -- fetch document and return it (as a 'String'.)
- &gt; fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp)
- &gt;
- &gt; do
- &gt; rsp &lt;- Network.Browser.browse $ do
- &gt; setAllowRedirects True -- handle HTTP redirects
- &gt; request $ getRequest "https://google.com/"
- &gt; fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp)
- &gt;

- Git repository available at &lt;https://github.com/haskell/HTTP.git&gt;
