Personally, I only know http://hpaste.org/, based on

Take a look at Hackage. There are quite a few other Haskell web
frameworks as well: everything from the low-level FastCGI to
higher-level HSP and WASH.
FastCGI is not a HTTP server. WASH seems so include one, but the latest
version ("Wash and go") seems to be from mid-2007 ("tested with GHC 6.6"
as the web page states), unless of course I'm looking at the wrong page.
That doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence.
Now, if you're talking about using, say, Apache + FastCGI then you'll
probably have something pretty robust, but I don't think that counts as
a "Haskell server".
Generally my experience has been that most of the Haskell server stuff
hasn't been very mature.
And about HAppS, I'm not an Haskell expert, but reading the source I see
that static files are server (in the HTTP server) using
Data.ByteString.Lazy's hGetContents
Is this ok?
In what respect? The fact that something uses
ByteString.Lazy.hGetContents doesn't imply a problem to me. It's a
useful function. It can be used properly, or not, just as while or
read() in C can be.
It's a great way to introduce unavoidable handle leaks, that's for sure.
