You are using the (receive) in a wrong way I believe.  The value you named body
holds the, well, body, but you are just throwing it away.  Try something like
this, it will print both the response and the body:

(use-modules (ice-9 receive)
             (web client))

(define (urbit-http-connect)
  (let* ((uri "http://example.org")
         (data (string-append "password=" "lidlut-tabwed-pillex-ridrup")))
    (receive (response body)
        (http-request uri #:method 'POST #:body data)
      (format #t "~s~%~s~%" response body))))

(urbit-http-connect)
