Re: [Chicken-users] proposed change to http-client

[Daishi Kato]

Hi,

I'm one of the guy who messed up the http-client.
If nobody else is using other than two args,
why don't we make it much simpler (http:POST req args)
without keywords?

A user who wants to customize POST method could do so using http:send-request.
