Valid. I guess I shouldn't pin too much faith on something that introduces
itself in the comments as a "wanna be library."

Hmm, I'm no expert on http cookies, but here are the sticking points (or
possibly misinterpretations of the spec and/or the library) that have been
holding me up (referencing rfc2965):
1) the print-cookie function generates path, domain, comment, etc fields
that don't belong in a Cookie header, so
I believe the net/cookie was intended to be used for both client and
server. For instance, print-cookie turns a cookie structure into a
string, which is a header that can be used on either side. I think the
only thing that would be needed as far as structure accessors would be
a way to find the coo
As long as people are discussing http client libraries, I've been wondering
what the status of net/cookie is. It seems that it's geared towards
server-side cookie management (and I don't see an obvious way to generate
Cookie: headers from net/cookie structs since none of the accessors are
exported)
Just finishing up a two day wrestling match with net/url, couchdb, and
assorted other incomplete libraries ... I have some fresh insight.
First, the new http client library will be very welcome!
A quick review of the existing code relieves me of most of my worries about
net/url, which is a bit of
I was crafting a response, but I think Norman here represents what I was

I agree. Although I usually find it much more convenient/

A new kind of dict seems like it would be able to deal with much of this.
For example, you could have a 'get' operation that would deal with the
multiple headers situation in a way that is likely to be what was intended
(whether that's an error or a 'get the last one' or some other operation)
and a

My intention is for these functions to be friendlier and easier to
find (because they have HTTP in the name of the functions and the
section), but if I am wrong, then I don't want to put in a note in the
net/url manual that says "These are bad old legacy stuff."

Interesting. Does this replace get-pure-port and friends? If not, maybe
we should include some wording in the docs for new users: "These
functions are for those who need low-level control over their HTTP
requests. For a friendlier and more conventional HTTP interface, see
..."

It exists, but it is only in the latest version.

If you look at the snapshots, you can see the docs:
