Folks,
I have a pull request pending to break net/url into:
- net/url: which functions as it currently does
- net/url-strings: to parse/unparse URL strings and paths
Here is my justification for doing so:
I am writing some software that requires net/url to parse URLs to
find their host, path and other bits. I want to minimise this software's
requirements, and noticed that to require net/url requires HTTP(*) --
which isn't necessary for the purposes of snipping up a URL.
There is a second pull request against racket/net for the test and
documentation.
I have also noticed that web-server/lang/abort-resume
(and/or web-server/base) requires web-server/http, when in fact
they can get away with web-server/http/response-structs (which
removes the requirements for all the HTTP gubbins). Again, I'm
interested in this because I want to
call-with-serializable-current-continuation -- a process that doesn't
require any "web-server"ing (the purist in me says that even w-s/h/r-s
are unnecessary... but I'm not rewriting the web-server, thank you very
much). So, unless there are any objections, I also want to make changes
to:
- Change web-server/http to web-server/http/response-structs in:
· servlet-structs.rkt
· manager.rkt
· web-server/private/servlet.rkt
- Change net/url to net/url-structs in:
· request-structs.rkt
- Change the requirements of define-closure.rkt:
· remove racket
· add racket/base
· add racket/local
(I don't know the paths off hand at the moment, but I'll know the files
when I `find` them).
Doing this will make a requirer of web-server/lang/abort-resume bring
in a much reduced (but sufficient) set of modules.
I hope that makes sense. If it doesn't, please let me know!
* HTTP isn't the end of it... *it* requires parser tools, network
libraries and all sorts; which make it even less economical to
include.
Regards,
Tim
