At first I got the same error but when I installed HTTP-4000.0.5 using Cabal your code worked. <br><br>hth,<br>deech<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 10:07 PM, Adam Keys <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adamkkeys@gmail.com">adamkkeys@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm using the HTTP Cabal package. It specifies an example like so:<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
simpleHTTP (getRequest "<a href="http://www.haskell.org/" target="_blank">http://www.haskell.org/</a>") >>= fmap (take 100) . getResponseBody<br>

However, it seems I'm either importing the library incorrectly or there is a discrepancy between the documentation and the library. I can't seem to call getRequest.<br>
