#13: chicken-install fails with TCP connect timeout

Priority:  critical  |   Component:  core tools 
 Version:  4.0.0     |    Keywords:  tcp timeout
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Using Debian Linux kernel version 2.6.26, I get the following error when
 trying to install eggs:


 {{{
 /bin/chicken/bin/chicken-install datatype
 retrieving ...
 connecting to host "chicken.kitten-technologies.co.uk", port 80 ...
 requesting "/henrietta.cgi?name=datatype" ...
 reading response ...
 TCP connect timeout
 connecting to host "galinha.ucpel.tche.br", port 80 ...
 requesting "/cgi-bin/henrietta?name=datatype" ...
 reading response ...
 TCP connect timeout
 Error: extension or version not found
 }}}

 Retrieving the egg with a browser or telnet works fine. Some investigation
 of setup-download.scm reveals that if the output port returned by tcp-
 connect is closed, and then reading from the input port is attempted, TCP
 timeout error occurs.

 It appears that the call to close-output-port should be after the egg is
 read with read-line in setup-download.scm. I tried commenting out the call
 to close-output-port and recompiling chicken-install, and I was able to
 install several eggs, but I still get timeout error when trying to install
 sxml-transforms.
