I'd previously been using Curl through FFI bindings for a simple Lisp web client project of mine, but have now switched to Drakma as it's much easier to use.

However, there was one feature in Curl that I needed which was missing, and was easily added in the attached patch. Curl has an autoreferer option, which when following redirects, automatically adds a Referer header containing the URI of the page that is being redirected from. I've added an equivalent option to the http-request function.

Thanks for the patch - I've added the new functionality to the 0.5.0 release. Note, however, that I've called it AUTO-REFERER (note the hyphen).

Cheers, Edi.
