Description

Version: 0.20.0

The fetching logic in waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Command/News/Fetching.hs contains patterns applicable beyond just news fetching. We should extract it to something like Wasp.Util.Network.HTTP and use it acorss the codebase.

Examples of files with similar patterns that could use this module:

  • waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Archive.hs
  • waspc/src/Wasp/AI/OpenAI/ChatGPT.hs
  • waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Command/Telemetry/Project.hs
  • waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/GithubRepo.hs
  • waspc/src/Wasp/AI/CodeAgent.hs

Research direction
Start by examining the existing network fetching logic in `waspc/cli/src/Wasp/Cli/Command/News/Fetching.hs`. Extract the HTTP related functions into a new module `Wasp.Util.Network.HTTP`. Then update the listed files to import from the new module. Review any comments in the original discussion (PR #3535) for additional context on design decisions.
