uhttpc
contains a simple low-level and lightweight Haskell
HTTP 1.1
library optimized for providing the bare minimum required for HTTP
benchmarking purposes and allowing for time measurements of the
individual phases of the HTTP transaction.
This package also provides the command-line tool uhttpc-bench
as an
usage example which mimics the popular
weighttp HTTP benchmarking tool's
CLI.
WARNING: uhttpc
was originally developed for evaluating the new
"Mio" parallel I/O manager
introduced with GHC 7.8 and provide a base-line for HTTP client libraries.
However, this is not a fully RFC compliant HTTP client library and
therefore ought not be used as a general purpose HTTP
implementation; Use libraries such as
http-streams
instead which aim toward full RFC compliance as well as having good
performance.
