I tried to turn off buffering with the command hSetBuffering (from 
System.IO) but my app still blocks on hGetContents (from 
Data.ByteString). Does anyone know what's happening?
I very much doubt anyone will be able to help you unless you include some code
for us all to look at.
import Network
import System.IO
import Data.ByteString as Bits(ByteString,  hGetContents)

soc <- listenOn $ PortNumber 2007
(hdl, host, port) <- accept soc
hSetBuffering hdl No Buffering;
bs <- Bits.hGetContents hdl;  -- blocks here despite previous line
