simpleHTTP package:HTTP

simpleHTTP :: HStream ty => Request ty -> IO (Result (Response ty))

simpleHTTP req transmits the Request req by opening a direct, non-persistent connection to the HTTP server that req is destined for, followed by transmitting it and gathering up the response as a Result. Prior to sending the request, it is normalized (via normalizeRequest). If you have to mediate the request via an HTTP proxy, you will have to normalize the request yourself. Or switch to using Browser instead. Examples:

simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://hackage.haskell.org/")
simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://hackage.haskell.org:8012/")

simpleHTTP :: HStream ty => Request ty -> IO (Result (Response ty))

HTTP Network.HTTP.HandleStream

simpleHTTP transmits a resource across a non-persistent connection.

simpleHTTP :: Request_String -> IO (Result Response_String)

HTTP Network.HTTP.Stream

Simple way to transmit a resource across a non-persistent connection.

simpleHTTP_ :: HStream ty => HandleStream ty -> Request ty -> IO (Result (Response ty))

HTTP Network.HTTP

Identical to simpleHTTP, but acting on an already opened stream.

simpleHTTP_ :: HStream ty => HandleStream ty -> Request ty -> IO (Result (Response ty))

HTTP Network.HTTP.HandleStream

Like simpleHTTP, but acting on an already opened stream.

simpleHTTP_debug :: HStream ty => FilePath -> Request ty -> IO (Result (Response ty))

HTTP Network.HTTP.HandleStream

simpleHTTP_debug debugFile req behaves like simpleHTTP, but logs the HTTP operation via the debug file debugFile.

simpleHTTP_ :: Stream s => s -> Request_String -> IO (Result Response_String)

HTTP Network.HTTP.Stream

Like simpleHTTP, but acting on an already opened stream.
