[Openmcl-devel] cl-http on clozure-cl

[Chun Tian (binghe)]

Hi, GB & James

In my cl-http copy (70.216 plus my changes), there's "port-template"  
by Karsten Poeck.

On Clozure CL, compiling success but test failed:

I think there're only small bugs in it. Anyone here can fix them if  
they have latest source code in hand.

The biggest problem of CL-HTTP is that its SVN is not public available  
and only a small group of developer (not include me) has access to it,  
two of them are Martin Simmons (LW) and Rainer Joswig. My cl-http copy  
came from Rainer Joswig after I've been asking for it for more than  
one year with some bug fixes ...

Latest CL-HTTP only runs on LispWorks perfectly. But on other  
supported platforms' newest version (MCL 5.2, LCL 506, SCL, CMUCL) ,  
there're many issues which need people fix it.

I hope JCMa can see this post and change his cl-http policy a bit.
