Guile lacks https support by default, which is a really glaring omission
in any modern language! I've submitted some code adapted from Guix
previously as a step towards adding https support:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2015-09/msg00031.html
While it can be pulled off through some gnutls hacks, these have
problems. Unfortunately, it seems that the file descriptor is leaked:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20145
I've been told on IRC that the "right solution" is to add r6rs style
binary ports:
http://www.r6rs.org/final/html/r6rs-lib/r6rs-lib-Z-H-9.html
So maybe that's what should be done?
Anyway, I think this is one of *the most important things* that Guile
currently lacks. (It's held me back from considering Guile as a serious
choice for at least one project, myself!) Hope it can be fixed!
