I suspect here in $10 you got a response with the response-code of 301.
It's a redirect.  Guile's HTTP client (unlike Firefox's) doesn't
automatically handle redirects for you; you need to grub around for
where it wants to send you.

In this case, try checking the response-code, and if it's a redirect
code, then look at the response-location.  See response-location in the
manual.

Cheers,

Andy
