Re: open-socket-for-uri returns string, but integer is needed

[mbcladwell]

Yes it is installed.

mbc@HP8300:~$ dpkg -s guile-gnutls
Package: guile-gnutls
Status: install ok installed

How do I test that it is properly configured? For example I can:

scheme@(guile-user)> (cdar (json-string->scm (utf8->string (receive  
(response-status response-body)
	  (http-request  
"https://api.blockchain.com/v3/exchange/tickers/LTC-USD";)  
response-body))))
$1 = 134.3

Thanks
Mortimer
