Comment:

 "-debug 2" shows a correct fprintf compiler-macro expansion.

 I assume that the fprintf expands into code that is too slow - it
 generates several procedure calls, coming in in separate packets, and the
 server is too impatient to wait for a complete response. It may be the
 case that the server reads one chunk of incoming data and assume nothing
 else will follow (a buffering issue, in other words).

 So I propose to change http-client to make sure the request line is
 written in one chunk. The compiler-macro expansion is correct.
