-- Module : Network.HTTP
-- Copyright : See LICENSE file

-- Maintainer : Ganesh Sittampalam <ganesh@earth.li>
-- Stability : experimental
-- Portability : non-portable (not tested)
--
-- The 'Network.HTTP' module provides a simple interface for sending and
-- receiving content over HTTP in Haskell. Here's how to fetch a document from
-- a URL and return it as a String:
--
-- >
-- > simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://www.haskell.org/") >>= fmap (take 100) . getResponseBody
-- > -- fetch document and return it (as a 'String'.)
--
-- Other functions let you control the submission and transfer of HTTP
-- 'Request's and 'Response's more carefully, letting you integrate the use
-- of 'Network.HTTP' functionality into your application.
--
-- The module also exports the main types of the package, 'Request' and 'Response',
-- along with 'Header' and functions for working with these.
--
-- The actual functionality is implemented by modules in the @Network.HTTP.*@
-- namespace, letting you either use the default implementation here
-- by importing @Network.HTTP@ or, for more specific uses, selectively
-- import the modules in @Network.HTTP.*@. To wit, more than one kind of
-- representation of the bulk data that flows across a HTTP connection is 
-- supported. (see "Network.HTTP.HandleStream".)
-- 
-- /NOTE:/ The 'Request' send actions will normalize the @Request@ prior to transmission.
-- Normalization such as having the request path be in the expected form and, possibly,
-- introduce a default @Host:@ header if one isn't already present.
-- Normalization also takes the @"user:pass\@"@ portion out of the the URI,
-- if it was supplied, and converts it into @Authorization: Basic$ header.
-- If you do not 
-- want the requests tampered with, but sent as-is, please import and use the
-- the "Network.HTTP.HandleStream" or "Network.HTTP.Stream" modules instead. They
-- export the same functions, but leaves construction and any normalization of 
-- @Request@s to the user.
--
-- /NOTE:/ This package only supports HTTP; it does not support HTTPS.
-- Attempts to use HTTPS result in an error.

-- | @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 'Network.Browser' instead.

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

--
-- * TODO
-- - request pipelining
-- - https upgrade (includes full TLS, i.e. SSL, implementation)
-- - use of Stream classes will pay off
-- - consider C implementation of encryption\/decryption
-- - comm timeouts
-- - MIME & entity stuff (happening in separate module)
-- - support \"*\" uri-request-string for OPTIONS request method
-- 
-- 
-- * Header notes:
--
-- [@Host@]
-- Required by HTTP\/1.1, if not supplied as part
-- of a request a default Host value is extracted
-- from the request-uri.
-- 
-- [@Connection@] 
-- If this header is present in any request or
-- response, and it's value is "close", then
-- the current request\/response is the last 
-- to be allowed on that connection.
-- 
-- [@Expect@]
-- Should a request contain a body, an Expect
-- header will be added to the request. The added
-- header has the value \"100-continue\". After
-- a 417 \"Expectation Failed\" response the request
-- is attempted again without this added Expect
-- header.
-- 
-- [@TransferEncoding,ContentLength,...@]
-- if request is inconsistent with any of these
-- header values then you may not receive any response
-- or will generate an error response (probably 4xx).
--
--
-- * Response code notes
-- Some response codes induce special behaviour:
--
-- [@1xx@] \"100 Continue\" will cause any unsent request body to be sent.
-- \"101 Upgrade\" will be returned.
-- Other 1xx responses are ignored.
-- 
-- [@417@] The reason for this code is \"Expectation failed\", indicating
-- that the server did not like the Expect \"100-continue\" header
-- added to a request. Receipt of 417 will induce another
-- request attempt (without Expect header), unless no Expect header
-- had been added (in which case 417 response is returned).
