Re: [Haskell-cafe] Problem with System.Timeout in Windows

I tried your example on 6.12.3 and it worked fine for me (Windows 7). Ryan Yates On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 1:35 AM, Adolfo Builes wrote:

Hi All:

I have been trying to use System.timeout in windows, but for some reason it doesn't work, a concrete example is:

import Network.HTTP import System.Timeout

main = do rsp <- timeout 10000000 $ simpleHTTP $ getRequest "http://10.1.2.3" case rsp of Just rsp -> print $ show rsp Nothing -> error "Nothing"

In this case I would expect to receive "Nothing" after 10 seconds, but it ignores the timeout function.

I'm compiling with -threaded, but it does not work either, I'm using ghc 6.12.2.

Does someone know what could be going wrong ?
