Hello Cafe. I cannot accept socket connection with timeout (Windows, GHC 7.4,1). Consider following code:
> import Network > import System.Timeout > main = withSocketsDo $ do > print ":: Starting server ..." > sock <- listenOn (PortNumber 4010) > res <- timeout 1 (accept sock) > print "Timed out" -- Never output! > sClose sock Documentation on http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/System-Timeout.html says:"... Standard I/O functions like ... Network.Socket.accept, ... appear to be blocking, but they really don't because the runtime system uses scheduling mechanisms like select(2) to perform asynchronous I/O, so it is possible to interrupt standard socket I/O or file I/O using this combinator." Neither Network.accept, nor Network.Socket.accept can be timed out is example above. Is it bug?
