I've tried 3 different HTTP libraries for this project: Network.HTTP (which
doesn't support SSL), Network.Curl, and http-enumerator. This project
requires SSL, HTTP Basic Auth and Post. Network.HTTP does not support SSL
and http-enumerator does not support HTTP basic authentication. The
maintainer said he'd welcome a patch to it but I don't really have the time
or skill at this stage to implement something like that.
So I'm stuck with trying to coerce curl into doing what I need it to do.
Hopefully someone on this list has been able to successfully POST a string
body with Network.Curl

I would be interested in this as well. I'm trying to use Network.Curl for a personal project, also using a method_post, and am not able to get a response. Though I know it's connecting.
I _think_ that I need to use CurlWriteFunction, but I'm still new to Haskell & not sure how to work with that option.
I tried a number of times to do things with Network.Curl and found it to be a painful and frustrating experience. The API is highly irregular and often remains too close to the underlying C API.
More recently I've been using the http-enumerator package which is conceptually a little more complicated but works really, really well. It does both HTTP and HTTPS, GET and POST. It currently doesn't work via a proxy, but the http-enumerator author has said he will take patches and I'm working on it.
