Re: [Haskell-beginners] Testing unpure network code

Hello. I have a problem with testing. I've wrote a client library for NNTP protocol. However I don't know how to test it.

I though about spawning a thread for server inside a test but Haskell (ghc and hugs?) uses green blocking threads so forkIO is not an option.

GHC forkIO uses threads that can make blocking foreign calls in parallel (*not* blocking the whole process), at least if you compile with ghc -threaded -Isaac
