Re: [Haskell-beginners] Convert numeric IP to Network.Socket.HostAddress

You can use the functionality in Data.IP[1] (from iproutes) to accomplish this. You'd first use `read` (or a safer version thereof, like Safe.readMay) to convert a String to an IPv4, and then toHostAddress to convert that to a HostAddress.

I need to convert a numeric IP (such as 1.2.3.4) to a HostAddress for consumption by SockAddrInet. The only function I can find to do this is inet_addr, which is impure (can do DNS lookups). Is there a pure conversion?
