The network library is no more than an FFI library to a Berkeley socket interface and as such it implicitly expects you to know sockets already (eg. from programming in C). One advantage here is reading man pages actually helps (unlike with most Haskell coding) and you can also make equivalent C programs to test things out.
Yes, that's kind of the problem; I don't know how to do this at the C level, and I can't seem to Google it. :-}
Ah well, I'll ask around. Somebody must know. ;-)
Ahh, then see Beej's guide [1] if you wish to learn at the C level. On another note: when making your Haskell app if you are at all performance concerned then you should use network-bytestring [2].
