It seems I have found a hole in Haskell... :( Before I start to develop a library with functions such us those on http://haskell.org/hawiki/BinaryIo (hGetWord8, hGetWord16le, hGetWord16be, etc), is there some reliable library that can help me ? I basically need a set of functions to read binary data out of a Handle (a higher lever of hGetBuf and hPutBuf). What I am doing is implementing a DNS server, so, my typical need is: First two bytes are an integer. The next bit is a boolean. So are the following three bits. Then I have 4 bits which is also an integer. Etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. -- Pupeno <pupeno@pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com)
