Re: [Haskell] Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: enumerator, an alternative iteratee package

I think the docs are wrong, or perhaps we're misunderstanding them. Magnus is correct. Attached is a test program which listens on two ports, 42000 (blocking IO) and 42001 (non-blocking). You can use netcat, telnet, etc, to send it data. The behavior is as Magnus describes: bytes from hGetNonBlocking are available immediately, while hGet waits for a full buffer (or EOF) before returning. This behavior obviously makes hGet unsuitable for enumHandle; my apologies for not understanding the problem sooner.
