Re: http-request in a controller- is it possible?

[Mortimer Cladwell]

Hi Nala,
I get the same results - a string - for both 3.0.4 and 2.2.7 for a non-local URL.

My computer is Debian10/Guile-3.0.4.  Below I test 3.0.4 at the terminal and 2.2.7 in a Guix protected environment.
When using Artanis I work with branch fix/ssql-guile3. Tests below do not involve Artanis.
Thanks
Mortimer

Guile-2.2.7 using Guix:

Supposedly the warning is harmless? https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39301
Harmless when using 2.2 code with 3.0 but I am unsure of the reverse.

This is very strange, it should be #<input-output: socket xx>
xx is an integer.
I tried it on my machine, it's Guile-2.2.7, and it's correct.
