Good idea -- I've added an ``enumSocketTimed`` and ``iterSocketTimed`` to the network-enumerator package at < http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-enumerator
. ``enumSocketTimed`` is equivalent to your ``enumHandleTimeout``, but instead of Handle uses the more efficient Socket type.
For simple applications working with handles is much more convenient, so I decided to implement a timed handle enumerator instead of a socket enumerator. Perhaps it would be a good idea to add your 'enumSocketTimed' and 'iterSocketTimed' to my netlines package, too. Also I should add 'iterHandleTimeout'.
For setting a global timeout on an entire session, it's better to wrap the ``run_`` call with ``System.Timeout.timeout`` -- this is more efficient than testing the time on every chunk, and does not require a specialised enumerator.
It may be more efficient, but I don't really like it. I like robust applications, and to me killing a thread is always a mistake, even if the thread is kill-safe. Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://ertes.de/
