data Connection Source

The `Connection` newtype is a wrapper that allows us to make connections an instance of the Stream class, without GHC extensions. While this looks sort of like a generic reference to the transport layer it is actually TCP specific, which can be seen in the implementation of the 'Stream Connection' instance.

openTCPPort :: String -> Int -> IO Connection Source

`openTCPPort uri port` establishes a connection to a remote host, using `getHostByName` which possibly queries the DNS system, hence may trigger a network connection.

isConnectedTo :: Connection -> EndPoint -> IO Bool Source

Checks both that the underlying Socket is connected and that the connection peer matches the given host name (which is recorded locally).

openTCPConnection :: BufferType ty => String -> Int -> IO (HandleStream ty)Source

socketConnection :: BufferType ty => String -> Int -> Socket -> IO (HandleStream ty)Source

`socketConnection`, like `openConnection` but using a pre-existing `Socket`.

isTCPConnectedTo :: HandleStream ty -> EndPoint -> IO Bool Source

data HandleStream a Source

class BufferType bufType => HStream bufType where Source

`HStream` overloads the use of `HandleStream`s, letting you overload the handle operations over the type that is communicated across the handle. It comes in handy for `Network.HTTP` `Request` and `Response`s as the payload representation isn't fixed, but overloaded.

The library comes with instances for `ByteString`s and `String`, but should you want to plug in your own payload representation, defining your own `HStream` instance _should_ be all that it takes.
