Comment (by sjamaan):

 >  Hmm it seems (max-redirect-depth 0) means unlimited, back to the
 drawing board

 No, that should indeed stop redirects altogether. Using `(max-redirect-
 depth #f)` disables it. The docs state this pretty clearly, and the code
 definitely checks for this.

 Anyway, I just pushed a few commits to master, could you check it out if
 this makes it easier for you? See https://code.more-magic.net/http-client
 (you can clone it with `git clone https://code.more-magic.net/http-
 client`, change into the dir and type `chicken-install` to install it)

 This new version changes two things:

 - It is possible to use `data:` with a string instead of `file:` and a
 port to force a multipart request even with static strings.
 - It detects whether ports passed in via `file:` are already closed and
 raises a specific exception `(exn http port-already-consumed)` with some
 hints as how to fix it.
