+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must

+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the

+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
+{- |
+  This module defines better resource routing for Scotty.
+
+  Scotty is defined in terms of "routes", whereas HTTP is defined in
+  terms of "resources".  This package adds a "resource" abstraction to
+  the scotty ecosystem.
+
+  (note: All examples probably require -XOverloadedStrings)
+
+  Scotty comes out of the box with a way to model "routes". The problem
+  is that "routes" is not the abstraction used by the HTTP standard and
+  it can sometimes be tricky to write a perfectly correct HTTP service
+  using the routes model (where "correct" is judged against rfc-2616).
+  The most blatant, (and who knows, maybe the only) example of this problem
+  is shown by the scotty code:
+
+  > import Web.Scotty.Trans (get, scottyT, text)
+  >
+  > ...
+  >
+  > scottyT 8080 id $ do
+  >   get "/hello" $ do
+  >     text "world"
+
+  If a client requests something like @DELETE /hello@, this scotty application
+  will return @404 Not Found@, which conflicts with section 5.1.1 of rfc-2616.
+  A better response would be @405 Method Not Allowed@, and it would include an
+  automatically generated @Allow@ response header.
+
+  This library gives users a way to model "resources" which is closer to the
+  abstractions used in the HTTP standard.
+
+  We can re-write the above example like this:
+
+  > import Web.Scotty.Trans (scottyT, text)
+  > import Web.Scotty.Resource.Trans (resource, get)
+  >
+  > ...
+  >
+  > scottyT 8080 id $ do
+  >   resource "/hello" $ do
+  >     get $ do
+  >       text "world"
+
+  Given a request:
+
+  > DELETE /hello HTTP/1.1
+  > Host: localhost:8080
+
+  The resource-based scotty application will produce something like:
+
+  > HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
+  > Allow: GET
+
+  Each resource is described by a `WebResource` value, which happens to
+  be a `Monad`. The only reason `WebResource` implements `Monad` to fit
+  in with the do-notation coding style of `ScottyT`. This is an abuse of
+  `Monad`, but, you know, whatever. The `Monoid` typeclass more correctly
+  represents what a `WebResource` really is. The `Monad` and `Monoid`
+  typeclasses are used to compose instances of `WebResource`.
+
+  Here is another more complex example, with multiple resources.
+
+  > import Data.Aeson (decode)
+  > import Network.HTTP.Types (notFound404, badRequest400, noContent204)
+  > import Web.Scotty.Resource.Trans (resource, get, post)
+  > import Web.Scotty.Trans (scottyT, text, body, raw, status, param)
+  >
+  > import MyApplication (lookupPerson, storePerson)
+  > 
+  > ...
+  > 
+  > scottyT 8080 id $ do
+  >
+  >   -- an "echo" resource
+  >   resource "/echo" $ do
+  >     get $ do
+  >       text "hello world"
+  >     post $ do
+  >       -- echo the request body back to the user
+  >       raw =<< body
+  >
+  >   -- A resource that represents a kind of a RESTful database of people.
+  >   -- This resource supports GET and PUT.
+  >   resource "/people/:personId" $ do
+  >     get $ do
