Yes, on second thought I agree. I was really thinking of timeout vs. no timeout, but I'm now convinced that "no timeout" is never a good idea. Away with the timeout fields, then, and down to only verb, URL, headers, cookie-jar, and content. This starts to look reasonable.

Now I'm thinking that if response content is going to be in effect a generator, then request content should be in effect an accumulator. Indeed, they can be *actually* SRFI 158 generators and accumulators. Time to make a Bitbucket page for this: <https://bitbucket.org/cowan/r7rs-wg1-infra/src/default/HttpRequest.md>.
