Thanks very much.

This is done on purpose to allow future enhancements to the API without breaking backwards compatibility. See http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2011/10/settings-types for more details.

So we can't use -XRecordWildCards pattern matching on Request? e.g.

showReq Request{..} = ...

snoyberg commented 13 years ago

Correct. Request is intended as settings to be passed to http-enumerator, not for analysis by any other program. It could add new fields at any point.
