[Chicken-users] Problem with http-client in chicken 4.2.0

[Colin Fleming]

Hi all,

I just reinstalled my computer, and as part of that I upgraded from Chicken 3 to 4.2.0. I'm having some problems with the new http-client interface and I'm not sure if I'm just doing something daft. When trying to use the Google Reader API I always get a 403:

#;4> (call-with-input-request "https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin?Email=<email>&Passwd=<password>&source=GooglecURL-Example&service=reader" #f port->string)

Error: (call-with-input-request) Client error: 403 Forbidden

    Call history:

    uri-common.scm: 150  uri-generic#uri-port        
    uri-generic.scm: 97   URI-authority        
    uri-generic.scm: 98   URIAuth-port        
    uri-common.scm: 151  uri-generic#uri-scheme        
    uri-common.scm: 151  alist-ref        
    http-client.scm: 79   uri-common#uri-host        
    http-client.scm: 79   uri-common#uri-host        
    http-client.scm: 448  raise            <--

Calling that same URL with curl works fine, and this worked in the chicken 3 http-client using http:GET. Calling, for example, http://www.google.com works fine too. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Is there any easy way to debug this?

Thanks,
Colin
