Example Usage
Here is a simple example of how to use the webfinger-client library:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Main where
import Data.Default
import Web.Finger.Client
query :: Query
query = def { qryTarget = resource }
where
resource = ResAccount (Account "curry" "hackers.pub")
main :: IO ()
main = do
manager <- newManager
result <- webfinger manager query
print result
This code uses the WebFinger protocol to query information about a specified resource and prints the result. The qryTarget is set to an Account, and in this example, it queries the account "curry" on the domain hackers.pub.
