IMHO this patch should not be applied.  It makes the procedure signature
a *lot* more complicated, and it's not necessary.

In case you want to send more complicated requests or want more control
over the way the request is made, just send in a http:request object:

(http:GET (http:make-request
            'GET "http://localhost/index.html";
            '(("Connection" . "close")
            '() "" 'HTTP/1.1)))

Cheers,
Peter
