Websocket client in Haskell?

Question

I see lots of libraries and examples for writing websockets servers in Haskell, but what about clients? Are there any libraries around for that?

Answer 1

The websockets package supports client-side applications

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/websockets/0.7.0.0/doc/html/Network-WebSockets.html#g:12

See the example:

https://github.com/jaspervdj/websockets/blob/master/example/client.hs

Answer 2

The websockets package contains a websocket client as well. After initiating the connection with connect, you write the client code just like you would for the server, using the WebSockets monad.
