I don't have a GHC installation that old, but I think that a bug in that version of GHC is the only reasonable explanation for this. I highly recommend that you upgrade to GHC 7.8.x or at least 7.6.x.

Lazy IO is a bit unsafe and error-prone in some scenarios. hGetContents doesn't really do any reading from the handle until the input is demanded, which is why you can print "read from handle done" but not the contents of bs.

===
one terminal, run ./serv, then run ./clie in another terminal. Output is :

$ ./serv
Listening...
After accept

$ ./clie
After connect
put hello to handle done
read from handle done


it seems that client has read from then handle, but donesn't read anything, then block.
and server donesn't receive anything, still wait for something...

ghc version is 7.4.1, because of this?..

Not sure why you're having issues, I just tried it on GHC 7.6.3 on Fedora 20 and it worked fine there as well (both with runhaskell or compiled with -O).

I might start adding putStrLn statements to the code to see where it's unexpectedly blocking, or perhaps use 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost" in case the issue is a DNS misconfiguration.

thanks for your replay.
i run the two program in two different teriminal for sure.

it works for you?
but why can't run well on my computer.

make me creazy....

How precisely are you trying to run the client? Are you typing it in to the same terminal? If so, then the client is never actually started, because when you type ./cli the input is going to ./serv and not the shell. Try running the client in a separate terminal.

It works for me here on Mac OS X 10.9.2 with GHC 7.8.2.

hi guys,
I'm newbie, just begin to learn Haskell.
now i write a very simple server and client .

Server:
import Control.Concurrent 
import System.IO          
import Network            
                          
port :: Int               
port = 1234               
                          
main :: IO ()             
main = withSocketsDo $ do 
    s <- listenOn $ PortNumber $ fromIntegral port
    (h, _, _) <- accept s 
                          
    sline <- hGetLine h   
    hPutStrLn h sline     
    putStrLn $ "send "++sline
    threadDelay 1000000   
                          
    hClose h              
    sClose s

Client :
import System.IO
import Network
 
port :: Int
port = 1234
 
main :: IO ()
main = withSocketsDo $ do
    h <- connectTo "localhost" $ PortNumber $ fromIntegral port
    hPutStrLn h "hello"
    bs <- hGetContents h
    putStrLn bs
    hClose h
 

And, it doesn't work now . I run ./serv , then run ./cli , they will block all the time.
but,  when i run ./serv, and telnet localhost 1234 in another terminal, it works fine.
so i don't know what's the wrong with my code.
anybody can tell me about my problem?

os is Debian 7,  haskell-platform  2012.2.0.0

thanks a lot!!!
