[Haskell-beginners] Haskell connectTo problem

[Kim-Ee Yeoh]

Not knowing anything about the package or the function, my guess is
connectTo wants a domain name, not a URL, because it proceeds to do a DNS
lookup on exactly that.

You probably want a different function. There's something called simpleHTTP
or thereabouts.
