There is some (dormant?) work on bringing HTTP into the age of the ByteString. Thomas Schilling (nominolo) might be able to tell you more about it.
Well, I can say with certainty that I won't have the time nor energy to bring this into a usable state anytime soon (speak: not this year). I think it's unlikely that Jonas will, either. Our work was a quick hack, meant mainly as a proof of concept. Doing it well would require work and more knowledge of the HTTP protocol than I have, ATM. I agree that it would be valuable to the community, but it's not gonna be me.
I wonder, though, what happened to the curl bindings for Haskell? This was a Summer of Code project last year. Also Johan Tibell expressed some interest in getting bytestrings for HTTP.
$ git clone http://code.haskell.org/curl.git :) But really, we want an no-errors bytestring-efficient http of our own.
