Just comment out #:data and append it to the url:

Doesn't work - I get the same error back:
blah, blah ... Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request.
That’s all we know ....
I've tried appending the data as you suggest. I've tried adding "?"
deliberately to the URI. I've tried with and without #:headers.
#:version #"1.0" and #"1.1". #:method #"GET" vs #"POST". Everything
produces the same error.
But perversely the result of (string-append
"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?";
<http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json> form-data) works if I
paste it into a browser.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble accessing the Google geocode API using
http-sendrecv.
Code is:
(define (lookup address)
(let [
(form-data (alist->form-urlencoded
(list (cons 'address address)
)))
(response #f)
(lat #f)
(long #f)
]
(printf "Looking up ~s~n" address)
(printf "=> ~s~n" form-data)
(with-handlers [
(exn:fail?
(lambda (e)
(fprintf (ferr) "~n~n%%~n~a~n%%~n" (format

]
(let-values [

<http://maps.googleapis.com>"
"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json";

(set! response (port->string port))
;(set! response (read-json port))
(printf "=> ~s~n" response)
))
(fprintf (ferr) "lat:~s long:~s~n" lat long )
(values lat long)
))
It doesn't yet extract relevant data because I haven't yet
successfully gotten anydata. 8-(
As a test Ilookup the State House in Boston:
(lookup "24 Beacon St, Boston, MA, 01233")
Looking up "24 Beacon St, Boston, MA, 01233"
=> "address=24+Beacon+St%2C+Boston%2C+MA%2C+01233"

Totally unhelpful.
However if I paste the URI and urlencoded data into a browser:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=24+Beacon+St%2C+Boston%2C+MA%2C+01233
then I get a good return. It also works from an HTML form, e.g.,
<form
action="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json";
<http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json> method="GET">
<label>address</label>
<input type="text" name="address" size="128" />
<button type="submit" >
GEOCODE
</button>
</form> <!-- login -->
I'm using http-sendrecv successfully with other web APIs - I just
can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with Google. Number and/or
frequency of requests is not an issue - I'm very far from the
daily limit and many minutes elapse between tests as I'm trying to
figure out what's wrong.
The documentation is at
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#GeocodingRequests
Any clues to pierce the veil of stupidity would be appreciated.
Thanks,
George
