I am trying to do a (very simple and naive) http-request
with gforth (current from git):

...

Try:
require unix/socket.fs
 
: test-http
  s" httpbin.org" 80 open-socket >r
  s" GET  HTTP/1.1\nHost httpbin.org\n\n" r@ write-socket
  200 ms
  r@ pad 80 read-socket .s
  r> close-socket
  cr type ;
 
Result after: test-http
 
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: awselb/2.0

If you make it GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: httpbin.org\n\n (with slash as
minimal path in the first line and colon in the second) it should work
(but need a larger buffer). Officially the line ends should be CR LF
(\r\n) but many servers including this one accept LF.

Note: The site begins with https in a browser!

Not in my browsers. And it doesn't even serve HSTS, which would cause
a browser to force HTTPS on visits after the first.
