Agreed.

It is working, but not really.
Because the client is also supposed to print this line:
 >  (display "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" s) ; with s being some socket.

Also removing the "(close client)" from the server script, seems to 
resolve the "Connection reset by peer" error (until I Ctrl-C the server).

Definitely.

The errors are also in the current Guile docs. Just if anyone was wondering…
