Hi again,
Given that putStrLn contents did manage to print out the HTTP header
before blocking, am I correct in coming to the conlusion that
'contents' is evaluated lazily? So Monads don't actually eliminate
laziness?

Actually, it blocks on:
putStrLn contents
It even blocks if I replace it with:
print $ length contents
Is there some kind of magic happening here?
No, but you're trying to do magic - it can't get all of contents until the connection's dropped.

A problem that's all in your head is still a problem. Brain damage is but one form of mind damage.
