The default SSLContext used by the convenience APIs in the http-streams
library. This is a kludge, unsafe bad yada yada. The technique, however,
was described on a Haskell Wiki page, so that makes it an officially
supported kludge. The justification for doing this is a) the functions
accessing this IORef are themselves all in the IO monad, and b) these
contortions are necessary to allow the library to be used for https:// URLs
*without* requiring the developer to do 'withOpenSSL'.

Given a URL, work out whether it is normal, secure, or unix domain,
and then open the connection to the webserver including setting the
appropriate default port if one was not specified in the URL. This
is what powers the convenience API, but you may find it useful in
composing your own similar functions.
For example (on the assumption that your server behaves when given
an absolute URI as the request path), this will open a connection
to server @www.example.com@ port @443@ and request @/photo.jpg@:
> let url = "https://www.example.com/photo.jpg"

Creates a basic SSL context. This is the SSL context used if you make an
@\"https:\/\/\"@ request using one of the convenience functions. It
configures OpenSSL to use the default set of ciphers.
On Linux, OpenBSD and FreeBSD systems, this function also configures
OpenSSL to verify certificates using the system/distribution supplied
certificate authorities' certificates
On other systems, /no certificate validation is performed/ by the
generated 'SSLContext' because there is no canonical place to find
the set of system certificates. When using this library on such system,
you are encouraged to install the system
certificates somewhere and create your own 'SSLContext'.
-}
{-
We would like to turn certificate verification on for everyone, but
this has proved contingent on leveraging platform specific mechanisms
to reach the certificate store. That logic should probably be in
hsopenssl, but feel free to change this as appropriate for your OS.

Issue an HTTP GET request and pass the resultant response to the
supplied handler function. This code will silently follow redirects,
to a maximum depth of 5 hops.
The handler function is as for 'receiveResponse', so you can use one
of the supplied convenience handlers if you're in a hurry:
> x' <- get "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/" concatHandler
But as ever the disadvantage of doing this is that you're not doing
anything intelligent with the HTTP response status code. If you want
an exception raised in the event of a non @2xx@ response, you can use:
> x' <- get "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/" concatHandler'
but for anything more refined you'll find it easy to simply write
your own handler function.
Throws 'TooManyRedirects' if more than 5 redirects are thrown.

This is fairly simple-minded. Improvements could include reusing
the Connection if the redirect is to the same host, and closing
the original Connection if it is not. These are both things that
can be done manually if using the full API, so not worried about
it for now.

> sendRequest c q (encodedFormBody nvs)
Note that it's going to be up to you to call 'setContentType' with

There should probably also be HttpServerError and maybe even

in the runtime when raised, not sure it's worth the bother. It's

If you're working with a data stream that is in @application/json@,
then chances are you're using @aeson@ to handle the JSON to Haskell
decoding. If so, then this helper function might be of use.
> v <- get "http://api.example.com/v1/" jsonHandler
This function feeds the input body to the 'Data.Aeson.Parser.json''
@attoparsec@ Parser in order to get the aeson Value type. This is then
marshalled to your type represeting the source data, via the FromJSON
typeclass.
The above example was actually insufficient; when working with
@aeson@ you need to fix the type so it knows what FromJSON instance
to use. Let's say you're getting Person objects, then it would be
> v <- get "http://api.example.com/v1/person/461" jsonHandler :: IO Person
assuming your Person type had a FromJSON instance, of course.
/Note/
This function parses a single top level JSON object or array, which
is all you're supposed to get if it's a valid document. People do
all kinds of crazy things though, so beware. Also, this function (like the
"concatHander" convenience) loads the entire response into memory; it's
not /streaming/; if you're receiving a document which is (say) a very
long array of objects then you may want to implement your own
handler function, perhaps using "Streams.parserToInputStream" and
the 'Data.Aeson.Parser' combinators directly — with a result type of
InputStream Value, perhaps — by which you could then iterate over
the Values one at a time in constant space.

This looks simple. It wasn't. The types involved are rediculous to
disentangle. The biggest problem is that the Parser type used in
[aeson] is *NOT* the Parser type from [attoparsec]. But the parsing
function `json` and `json` from Aeson use the attoparsec Parser even
though the rest of the top level page is all about Aeson's parser as
used in FromJSON!
Anyway, `json` and `json'` are [attoparsec] Parser [aeson] Value; we
run that using the [io-streams] convenience function
`parseFromStream` which gets us a Value which is the intermediate
abstract syntax tree for a JSON document. Then (and this was hard
to find) to work with that in terms of the FromJSON typeclass, you
use the `fromJSON` function which has type (FromJSON α => Value ->
Result α). Then finally, pull the result out of it. Why in Bog's
name this wasn't just Either I'll never know.
