Hi,

> (encoding-error put-char conversion to port encoding failed 84
> #<output: file 1> s)

Could the error be due to the 7-bit encoding in HTTP headers? [1] The
"84" is EILSEQ from errno.h. [2] Wingo added the functionality here. [3]

I also submitted a patch to resolve in the errno. [4]

A similar issue appeared in Guix's Cuirass. [5]

Kind regards
Felix
