Hello Scott,

one possible solution: use Streams library and establish a stream
transformer that adds an error call on timeout. something like this:
data StreamWithTimeout s = StreamWithTimeout s Timeout
instance Stream s => Stream (StreamWithTimeout s) where
vGetChar (StreamWithTimeout s t) = do
timeout t (vGetChar s)
(error "Timed out!")
then you can use standard vGetContents lazy string reading in order to
get expected behaviour
or, even simple, you can make your own variant of hGetContents which
adds a timeout checks before each next call to hGetChar or hGetBuf
