The solution is far from simple if you want to do it in 100% Common Lisp as there's no CL HTTP client that can verify certificates. Maybe possible with drakma and cl+ssl and a custom configuration of the latter and a native OpenSSL library, and I still have doubts.


That is shocking! I do not know well the common lisp community. Am I write in thinking that racket has an http client that can verify certificates or am I underestimating the complexity of ssl?


But then, for a practical solution, why do it in 100% Common Lisp?


Portability to various OSes and environments and working immediately out-the-box with no extra dependencies.

That said, the patches I sat down to do would re-use native executables (md5, sha1) and wget/curl.
