Question

Which library should I use to parse HTTP requests from a socket stream? I’d like something that I can give a lazy ByteString which may contain partial or multiple HTTP requests.

I’m also interested in something similar for responding to HTTP requests (pass it a response object and get the lazy ByteString to write to the socket)

Edited to add more info:
This interface would be ideal, but of course not required:

ByteString {- the initial buffer -} -> (Maybe Request, ByteString {- remaining buffer -})

In case of a partial request, the Maybe Request is Nothing and the ByteString is the same as the input.

Thanks 🙂

I think you can just Network.HTTP for the basic implementation, but I don’t think it natively supports ByteStrings.
