Hi, I've tried this on macOS and I get the following (note the port type is not socket, but neither file):
scheme@(guile-user)> (open-socket-for-uri "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice";) $7 = #<input-output: string 105b0c540> If I do the following I get an error (see below): scheme@(guile-user)> (define s (open-socket-for-uri "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice";)) wait a bit... then: scheme@(guile-user)> (http-request "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice"; #:port s) ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception: Bad Read-Header-Line header: #<eof> However, if I do the following: scheme@(guile-user)> (http-request "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice"; #:port (open-socket-for-uri "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice";)) The request works fine. So, if I do the following quickly enough: scheme@(guile-user)> (define s (open-socket-for-uri "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice";)) scheme@(guile-user)> (http-request "https://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice"; #:port s) it works fine. So it seems a timing issue. What is exactly failing and when in your case?
