HTTP Library Replacement

Description (Last modified by desp)

Provide a replacement library for the HTTP package, addressing key concerns voiced about the current implementation.

The replacement should offer marked improvement in several areas, including:

  • Convenient interfaces, suitable for both simple and complicated HTTP clients;
  • Familiar error reporting mechanisms;
  • Solid back-end, perhaps based on libcurl;
  • Liberal usage of ByteString, for great speedup.
