Well, I'm looking for suggestions on how to implement this. I'll basically get a chunk of data from the socket that will have things little-endian and will need to send out a chunk that will have the numbers big-endian. This is a proxy server that does binary protocol conversion. It's a breeze to implement in Erlang but I'm partial to Haskell and trying to apply it to all sorts of problems. Please, let me know if this is not the type of problem to apply Haskell to ;-). Thanks, Joel On Oct 3, 2005, at 8:35 AM, Tomasz Zielonka wrote:
Having htonl/ntohl as pure functions in Haskell would be a bit ugly, because they would be defined differently on different platforms, and putting them in the IO monad would make them barely usable.
