Hmmm... FWIW, I've been using a lightly modified version of Bjorn's
version of HTTP in a modified HaXml parser, and it worked fine for
accessing external entities. But that almost certainly did not involve
receiving zero bytes.

I don't know, but it's explicitly there whatever it is. From ghc
6.2.2:
let len' = fromIntegral len
if len' == 0
then ioError (mkEOFError "Network.Socket.recv")
else peekCStringLen (ptr,len')
It appears this change was committed to fptools in version 1.26 of
Socket.hsc on July 15, 2002.
http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/libraries/network/Network/Socket.hsc.diff?r1=1.25;r2=1.26;f=h
Which arguably is not what one would expect recv to do, and in any case
is undocumented at
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/network/Network.Socket.html#v%3Arecv
Still, 2002 was awhile back, so I'm still surprised nobody else noticed.
