 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:  4.8.0

 Issue e.g.:

   nc -l 7979

 Then:

   (with-input-from-request
    (make-request method: 'DELETE
                  uri: (uri-reference "http://localhost:7979";)
                  headers: (headers '((accept */*))))
    #f
    read-string)

 It appears to block on read and times out with:

   "Error: (tcp-connect) cannot create socket - Connection refused"

 when nc closes the connection.
