Use uri-bytestring instead of network-uri?

[cdupont]

Using uri-bytestring would be much better for constructing URIs. See for example: haskell-servant/servant#139

Hey, thanks for the pointer. I hadn't heard of uri-bytestring, but I'll see if it makes my life better or worse. :)

Is there usage of network-uri in here that causes you suffering as a user?

[cdupont]

Yeah, I wanted to construct a URI piece by piece using the constructors, and found it quite strange. For example, the port is defined as a String, that should include ":" (e.g. uriPort = ":42"). Not a big deal, just nit-picking :)
