http-request procedure missing or not exported from web client

http-request procedure missing or not exported from web client

[Zelphir Kaltstahl]

Hi!

I recently noticed, that the procedure ~http-request~
(https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Web-Client.html)
does not seem to be available when I do:

~~~

(use-modules (web client))
(http-request ...)

~~~

However, the specialised procedures like ~http-get~ are available.

Are the docs wrong or is my Guile (2.2.3) too old or did I misunderstand
the docs?

Regards,

Zelphir

FWIW, doing in a guile-prompt with guile-2.2.4:

$ ./guile/meta/guile
GNU Guile 2.2.4.9-71f536
Copyright (C) 1995-2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Guile comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `,show w'.

Enter `,help' for help.
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (web client))
scheme@(guile-user)> http-request
$1 = #<procedure http-request (uri #:key body port method version
keep-alive? headers decode-body? streaming? request)>

Don't have 2.2.3 any more, though.

Cheers,

Guile-2.2.4 is the first version to export 'http-request'.
