I apologize for my previous message, apparently my reading comprehension is
really low at this time of day.  Anyway, to actually answer the question:
response-headers is the procedure you are looking for.  You are already using
it, and it works for me (without the receive, so maybe consider dropping it
since it is not necessary):

((accept-ranges bytes)
 (cache-control (max-age . 604800))
 (content-type text/html (charset . "UTF-8"))
 (date .
       #<date nanosecond: 0 second: 32 minute: 30 hour: 22 day: 9 month: 8 
year: 2023 zone-offset: 0>)
 (etag "3147526947" . #t)
 (expires
   .
   #<date nanosecond: 0 second: 32 minute: 30 hour: 22 day: 16 month: 8 year: 
2023 zone-offset: 0>)
 (last-modified
   .
   #<date nanosecond: 0 second: 26 minute: 18 hour: 7 day: 17 month: 10 year: 
2019 zone-offset: 0>)
 (server . "EOS (vny/044F)")
 (content-length . 1256)
 (connection close))

Expression evaluated was:

(use-modules (ice-9 pretty-print)
             (ice-9 receive)
             (web client)
             (web response))

(define (urbit-http-connect)
  (let* ((uri "http://example.org";)
         (data (string-append "password=" "lidlut-tabwed-pillex-ridrup"))
         (response (http-request uri #:method 'POST #:body data)))
    (pretty-print (response-headers response))))

(urbit-http-connect)
