Hi!

I don't think this is supported, but it shouldn't be hard to add: see the
code for "xml-rpc:server", which passes a few headers to
"http:send-request". An additional argument couild be used here,
but then it might as well be sensible to turn the procedure into
one that accepts keyword arguments. Or extra arguments to
the procedure returned by "xml-rpc:server"? I'm not sure what is
best here...


cheers.
