- Because the client uses buffered I/O (hGetContents in this case, but
hGet-anything would be the same), it doesn't "see" the server response
until a) buffer full, or b) end of file (server closes connection.)
- The server does close the connection, but after the "sleep" process
has forked off with a copy of the connection fd. If it doesn't close
that fd explicitly, it holds it open until process exit (5 seconds.)
