I remember Johan Tibell (CC'd) working on an extended variant of Parsec that can deal with this chunked processing. The idea is to teach Parsec about a partial input and have it return a function to process the rest (a continuation) if it encounters the end of a chunk (but not the end of a file). Maybe Johan can tell you more about this, or point you to his implementation.
I have written a parser for my web server that uses continuations to resume parsing. It's not really Parsec like anymore though. It only parses LL(1) grammars as that's all I need to parse HTTP. I haven't released a first version of my server yet, indeed most of the code is on this laptop and not in the Git repo [1], but if you would like to steal some ideas feel free. 1. http://www.johantibell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=hyena.git;a=blob;f=Hyena/Par...
