I'm looking for a library that can parse HTTP messages.  I noticed
that Network.HTTP, which you maintain, generates and parses HTTP
messages but only the generator is exposed externally (through the
Show interface).  Would it be possible to make a version which
exposes parsing as well?  For example, through a Read interface...

The HTTP-4000.x line of releases provides the following exports from Network.HTTP:

parseResponseHead

[String] -> Result ResponseData?

parseRequestHead

[String] -> Result RequestData?

along with (which HTTP-3001.x releases also support):

Network.HTTP.Headers.parseHeaders

[String] -> Result [Header]
