I completely understand that it is desirable to have (load "http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp") working, but can't you check for "http://" or "https://" before converting a pathname to an url-pathname?
A quite reasonable request. URL-PATHNAME objects are actually supposed to be strictly defined as a [URI][1], which we can distinguish by having a "/" immediately after the ":" so I think we are in good shape to implement this in a sane manner that covers all possible cases, not those just with "http" and "https" schemas.
Filed as [ticket][#327].
