I think it is worthwhile to point out that this library has only 100 lines of
code + 19 lines of packaging information (which are also in fact code), and
only six dependencies: a general utility library (Alexandria), an
encoding-decoding library (Babel), a socket library that bridges the
differences between different Common Lisp implementations (Usocket), a library
for encoded streams (Flexi-stream), an SSL library (CL+SSL), and a URI library
(QUri), all of them bog-standard.
Thank you for noticing!
Being a relative CL-newbie coming mostly from the Python world, I'm not asdependency-averse as a lot of more experienced CL developers. But I did likethat not much was necessary.
