Package: libghc6-cgi-dev Version: 3001.1.7.1-1 Severity: wishlist Network.CGI provides functions for handling exceptions in the CGI monad: tryCGI, catchCGI, throwCGI, and so on. It also provides a function handleErrors which turns exceptions into "internal server error" pages. However, these functions all use the non-extensible Exception type, rather than the new typeclass-based extensible exception mechanism introduced in GHC 6.10. This makes it difficult to use CGI's exception handling in a program which uses extensible exceptions, and reduces the usefulness of the messages from handleErrors (since it cannot show dynamic exceptions).
Please consider adding support for the new extensible exception mechanism.
