Hello,

The problem is that Guile strings cannot contain null characters.  For
arbitrary binary data, other containers must be used, such as SRFI-4
u8vectors or R6RS bytevectors (from Guile-R6RS-Libs).

It may be a design flaw in Guile-WWW, which abuses strings to store
binary data.

Thanks,
Ludo'.
