With that patch my little test program works.

Now, please forgive my ignorance.  I probably misunderstand what
"delimited" means in this context, and I am probably using it
incorrectly.  I would be shocked if this even slightly resembles how
this should be fixed.  I have been lurking on the guile mailing lists
for a few months and I don't understand half of what you guys are
talking about (which is actually why I am so keen to play with guile).
Sharing this patch seemed to be the easiest way to explain what is
happening.

I am not even going to pretend that I have spent a great deal of time
reading the HTTP 1.1 protocol specs, but it does appear that the server
does not have to return a Content-Length.  I certainly have run across
servers that don't.

Poking at this issue has been quite a bit of fun for me.  So, thanks for
all of your hard work on the system.  Now I must admit that I am
interested in seeing how (and if) this gets fixed.
