  "textContent": "Ambrose:\n\n> Is there a Haskell library that wraps shelling out to curl?\n\nMaybe that’s not too much of a bad idea in fact. There’s some significant code regarding this in both Cabal and GHCup that could be factored out. Dealing with all the cli options (especially in a portable manner) is not easy, then all the stuff around etags etc.\n\n  * ghcup-hs/lib/GHCup/Download.hs at master · haskell/ghcup-hs · GitHub\n  * cabal/cabal-install/src/Distribution/Client/HttpUtils.hs at master · haskell/cabal · GitHub\n\n\n\nBut my guess is that any such wrapper would be fairly opinionated and simplified.\n\nBut I feel we’re going increasingly off-topic.",
