Re: [Chicken-users] proposed change to http-client

[Elf]

oh, also, i didnt say no-one was using the other args, only that no eggs
depended on more than two args.  not many eggs use http-client directly, most
use the server.  one of the things im working on needs the client to have
certain functionality atm, though, so at least some of the extra args are
useful.  i added some and took some away.
