A Haskell library for client-side HTTP Maintained by:haskell@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 02 Jan 2010 23:04:52 Also Listed In:haskell License: BSD
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.)

Reason:
GHC has been updated to version 7.0.4, and Haskell Platform to version
2011.4.0.0, and other Haskell ports are also updated to their Haskell
Platform versions or latest versions.
To update all affected ports:
# portmaster -r lang/ghc
or
# portupgrade -r lang/ghc
2011-05-09
Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*

Reason:
GHC has been updated to version 7.0.3 and other Haskell ports are also
updated to their Haskell Platform versions or latest versions.
To update all affected ports:
# portmaster -r lang/ghc
or
# portupgrade -r lang/ghc
Number of commits found: 8
Commit History - (may be incomplete: see CVSWeb link above for full details)
Bump PORTREVISION of all ports dependent on lang/ghc as during
upgrade, lang/ghc cabal package cache gets invalidated causing all
dependent ports to be reinstalled.

- Please welcome GHC 7.0.3
GHC in the ports tree has been updated to 7.0.3 and all other Haskell ports
are also updated to their corresponding Haskell Platform versions, or latest
versions.
We would like to acknowledge the support of the FreeBSD Donations Team and
Eotvos Lorand University, Faculty of Informatics who contributed to the server
that we used for testing.
We would also like to thank all the testers who tested FreeBSD Haskell ports
and provided their feedback.

Introduce a new (and hopefully better) ports infrastructure for Haskell Cabal
ports which makes possible the direct translation of Cabal package
descriptions to FreeBSD ports. It promises both easier addition and
maintenance for Cabal-based ports.
