I've spent some time today converting some code (cl-s3) to use drakma instead of s-http-client. In the process, one thing I thought might be useful in drakma is a caller-defined way of indicating that the content type is text or not. For example, a function like the following passed to (http-request)
(defun text-content-type-p (type subtype) ..)
Or perhaps some table of text content types defined as a special var. I know the caller could implement this themselves, but it seems like doing so might require the re-implementation of portions of http-request that deal with the charset and chunked incoding (i.e. the code within (when (and (string-equal type "text").
Do you think this makes sense, or am I'm missing something?
[Please use the mailing list to discuss Drakma.]
Yes, that sounds like a reasonable request and I was planning to add something like that anyway. Please check if the new release provides what you need.
Cheers, Edi.
