the Network.HTTP.Simple library is a wrapper for the Network.HTTP library.
the purpose of my library is to provide simple wrappers for basic http get and head operations, as well as basic redirect support missing from the Network.HTTP package.
i don't recommend using this package anymore. i have switched to using Network.Curl in other haskell code where i once used Network.HTTP.Simple. i will continue to make bug fixes but no new features will be added to Network.HTTP.Simple.
this module has seen major revisions in july 2007. if you are using the old code i once had listed here, you should look over the new code carefully, it is not a drop-in replacement.
i am no longer listing the code here, the package is now a hackage library, and i recommend that you download it there.
these are the installation instructions
here is the haddock documentation
none of the original Network.HTTP authors were involved in writing my module, although i did borrow generously from their pre-existing code.
i have tried to make sure i attribute the original authors in the license, which is a bsd license like the one the original authors used.
as always, let me know if you have questions.
