A (probably silly) problem with request.el

[Marcin Borkowski <mbork@mbork.pl>]

Hi all,

I'd like to write a small library which needs to make HTTP requests.
Now I'm completely new to this whole networking thing, but I know I can
say e.g.

curl http://google.com

at the command line.  However,

(require 'request)
(request "http://google.com")

won't do anything good - it yields this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[cl-struct-request-response nil nil nil nil nil "http://google.com" nil
			    (:error
			     (closure
			      (t)
			      (&rest args)
			      (apply 'request-default-error-callback '"http://google.com" args))
			     :url "http://google.com" :response #0)
			    #<buffer  *request curl*> nil nil curl nil]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
