It seems that the Socket library does still not work with ghc 5.02.1. I tried the simple test:
> main = > do > d <- connectTo "localhost" (PortNumber 80) > hPutStr d "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n" > hFlush d > c <- hGetContents d > putStr c On Windows2000 I get the known error: *** Exception: does not exist Action: getProtocolByName Reason: no such protocol entry whereas on Linux I get the following error: *** Exception: failed Action: connect Reason: Unknown error 142731264 The error number changes for every invocation and every 20th time or so it works on the linux machine. Can anyone recommend me, how to get a working Socket library with ghc 5.02. (I really need it now...)
