This tutorial concludes a three-part series on building an HTTP server from scratch in Haskell. It covers creating HTTP responses with appropriate status codes and headers, serializing response objects into ByteStrings using helper functions, and implementing the networking layer using Network.Socket and Network.Run.TCP. The guide demonstrates handling client connections, parsing requests with Megaparsec, generating responses, and sending data back through sockets. Complete working code is provided for a basic server that returns 200 OK or 400 Bad Request responses.
