Hi,

I'm using Guile 2.0.7. 'http-get' fails to download the file.

scheme@(guile-user)> (http-get (string->uri
"http://citylan.dl.sourceforge.net/project/libusb/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.9/libusb-1.0.9.tar.bz2"))
ERROR: In procedure get-bytevector-all:
ERROR: Throw to key `bad-response' with args `("EOF while reading
response body: ~a bytes of ~a" (12731 421971))'.

Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
