In MIT Scheme 11.2, many procedures in src/runtime/http-io.scm and
src/runtime/http-syntax.scm are broken.

Procedures such as "write-http-request" [1] and "write-http-response"
[2] are obviously broken. Both of them use "write-u8" and "newline" to
write to the same port, which is guaranteed to cause an error because
"write-u8" expects a binary port, while "newline" expects a textual
port.

I hope HTTP functionality will be fixed in the next release of MIT
Scheme. Perhaps unit tests should be added to prevent these kinds of
regressions.
