[Haskell-cafe] Trying to write a very simple HTTP Client

23 May 2008

      Hi all,

I've written the following program to connect to a submit an HTTP GET 
request to a server and print the response:

module Main where

import Network
import System.IO

main = withSocketsDo go

go = do putStrLn "Connecting..."
            out <- connectTo "haskell.org" (PortNumber 80)
            hPutStrLn out "GET /\r"
            hPutStrLn out "Host: haskell.org\r"
            hPutStrLn out "\r"
            cs    <- hGetLine out
            hClose out
            print cs

When I run the program, however, I get the following error:

HTTPClient: <socket: 1872>: hGetLine: end of file

Can anyone see what's wrong?

E.
