The `Parser` type is intended to be used with a base monad that is not a `Producer` or any other pipe type. The intuition you should have for `pipes-parse` is that they are almost exactly analogous to `conduit` abstractions (minus the finalization handling of `conduit`):

* `Producer a m ()` is analogous to a `Source m a`
* `Parser a m r` is analogous to a `conduit` `Sink a m r`
* `Lens' (Producer a m r) (Producer b m r)` is analogous to a `Conduit a m b`that can propagate leftovers further upstream * `Getter' (Producer a m r) (Producer b m r)` (or just: `Producer a m r -> Producer b m r`) is analogous to a `Conduit a m b` that cannot propagate leftovers further upstream

`conduit` does not make the distinction between transformations which can or cannot propagate leftovers further upstream, which leads to the leftover propagation bug described here: http://www.haskellforall.com/2014/02/pipes-parse-30-lens-based-parsing.html

So any time you find yourself writing a `Parser` that is trying to `yield` things further downstream, that's your cue that you should switch it to become a `Lens'` or a `Getter` (i.e. function) instead.

Back to your specific code: I believe the the type you want for `handShake` is either a leftover-passing function equivalent to the `Parser` you originally had:

    type M = ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO)

    handShake
        :: SockAddr
        -> Producer ByteString M r
-> Producer ByteString M ((Get Frame, Frame -> Put), Producer ByteString M r)

... or a lens if you included enough information in the return value to recover the original stream:

    type M = ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO)

    handShake
        :: SockAddr
        -> Lens' (Producer ByteString M r)
(Producer ByteString M ((ExtraInformation, Get Frame, Frame -> Put), Producer ByteString M r)

If you did that, then you'd be able to write:

    zoom (handShake . decoder):: Parser Frame m r -> Parser ByteString m r

... and that would automatically handle all initial authentication and provide you with a stream of decoded frames. Or you could use it to transform a `Producer`:

view (handShake . decoder) :: Producer ByteString M r -> Producer Frame M LargeReturnType

Ok, so I have a network connection that has an interactive handshake to setup a connection (i.e. I need to write things to the network while parsing the handshake). Several months ago I wrote some code that manually plumbed a ByteString state throughout all my pipes to handle leftovers. Today I wanted to try and rewrite this code to use the new pipes-parse stuff, thinking the result would be much nicer to work with. However, I get stuck with no clue how to continue. My original code was as follows:


readSocket :: MonadIO m => Handle -> Producer ByteString m r
writeSocket :: MonadIO m => Handle -> Consumer ByteString m r

handShake :: SockAddr ->
    StateT ByteString
           (Pipe ByteString
 ByteString
 (ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO)))
           ( Pipe ByteString Frame (SafeT IO) r,
             Pipe Frame ByteString (SafeT IO) r )
handShake addr =  do
    version <- zmtpVersion
    let (decoder, encoder) = case version of
            ZMTP1 {} -> (zmtp1Decoder, zmtp1Encoder)
:: MonadSafe m => (Pipe ByteString Frame m r, Pipe Frame ByteString m r)
            ZMTP2 {} -> (zmtp2Decoder, zmtp2Encoder)
            ZMTP3 {} -> (zmtp3Decoder, zmtp3Encoder)

    -- authenticate version addr :: Pipe Frame Frame m r
    lift $ decoder >-> authenticate version addr >-> encoder
    return (decoder, encoder)

session :: SockConfig
        -> Producer Frame (SafeT IO) ()
        -> Consumer Frame (SafeT IO) ()
        -> IO Handle
        -> SockAddr
        -> IO ()
session cfg fromApp toApp newHandle addr =
  runSafeT . runEffect . bracket newHandle hClose $ \hnd -> do

      let fromNetwork = readSocket hnd
          toNetwork = writeSocket hnd
          handshake = runReaderP cfg (runStateT (handShake addr) empty)

((decoder, encoder), rest) <- fromNetwork >-> handshake >-> toNetwork
      myTid <- liftIO myThreadId

      let appToNet = fromApp >-> encoder >-> toNetwork
          netToApp = (yield rest >> fromNetwork) >-> decoder >-> toApp
          -- code using appToNet/netToApp Effect's

In other words, my handshake is just a pipe, reading and writing ByteStrings from and to the same socket. After version negotiation I do authentication, this uses a "Pipe Frame Frame" that I compose with the relevant decoders/encoders and lift into the handshake's pipe. So far, so good, the only real nastiness is manually threading the leftover state throughout the zmtpVersion, decoder and encoder.

So on to my attempt to rewrite this using pipes-parse.

readSocket :: MonadIO m => Handle -> Producer ByteString m r
writeSocket :: MonadIO m => Handle -> Consumer ByteString m r

handShake :: SockAddr
-> Parser ByteString (Producer ByteString (ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO))) (Get Frame, Frame -> Put)
handShake _addr =  do
    version <- zmtpVersion
    let (getFrame, putFrame) = case version of
            ZMTP1 {} -> (ZMTP1.getFrame, ZMTP1.putFrame)
            ZMTP2 {} -> (ZMTP2.getFrame, ZMTP2.putFrame)
            ZMTP3 {} -> (ZMTP3.getFrame, ZMTP3.putFrame)

    --lift $ undefined >-> authenticate version addr >-> undefined
    return (getFrame, putFrame)

session :: SockConfig
        -> Producer Frame (SafeT IO) ()
        -> Consumer Frame (SafeT IO) ()
        -> IO Handle
        -> SockAddr
        -> IO ()
session cfg fromApp toApp newHandle addr =
  runSafeT . runEffect . bracket newHandle hClose $ \hnd -> do

      let fromNetwork = readSocket hnd
          toNetwork = writeSocket hnd
          handshake = runReaderP cfg . runStateT (handShake addr)

      ((decoder, encoder), rest) <- handshake fromNetwork >-> toNetwork
      myTid <- liftIO myThreadId

      let appToNet = for fromApp (encodePut . encoder) >-> toNetwork

I immediately run into several problems. First off, my authentication code wants to deal with Frame's, not ByteString, but my initial has a ByteString producer. I can see that lenses are supposed to let me "zoom" "Parser a" to "Parser b", but unfortunately pipes-binary only has the following lens:

decoded :: (Monad m, Binary a) => Lens' (ProducerByteString m r) (Producer a m (Either (DecodingError, ProducerByteString m r) r))

This only works with Binary instances, unfortunate in my case where I need to use explicit getters/putters, but writing my own decoder that work using decodeGet and encodePut is not too hard. A bigger issue is, how to handle "authenticate", since it wants to deal with Frame's it would ideally have the type "Parser Frame (Producer Frame (ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO)) r", but I have no way to run this within my "Parser ByteString (Producer ByteString (ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO))" as the types don't match.

Even worse, after the "runState (handShake addr)" in session the remainder of fromNetwork's output is in the Producer returned as "rest", unfortunately the trip through the Parser's StateT has changed fromNetwork's type to "Producer ByteString (Producer ByteString (ReaderT SockConfig (SafeT IO))", I can't compose this with session "Consumer Frame (SafeT IO) ()", because the inner Producer and ReaderT are in the way, even though these are now useless as only the outer Producer will still do something. I could get rid of the ReaderT with a "runReaderP undefined", but I have no way to get rid of the inner Producer...

Any suggestions on how to do this in the new pipes-parse world? Or should I just give up and stick with my old design of explicit passing around of leftovers?

Cheers,
Merijn
