A strange problem with request.el

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

I know this is rather vague, but I'm writing in case this is something
trivial I don't know about; if not, I'll try to prepare a minimal
(non-)working example (but this will take me some time).

So I'm using request.el, and everything is fine if there are no errors.
But if something is wrong (like wifi is turned off for testing;-)), this
doesn't work:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(request "http://some.address";
         :parser #'json-read
         :error (function* (lambda (&rest _ &key error-thrown &allow-other-keys)
                             (error "Got error: %s" (cdr error-thrown))))
         :sync t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When I edebug this, or run it using M-:, the error is signalled
correctly.  When I run it as part of an interactive command, request
just seems to fail silently.

Any idea of what might be wrong with this?

TIA,
