Note, however, that I've called it AUTO-REFERER (note the hyphen). Cheers, Edi.

Are you using the newest version of CMUCL? Have you asked on their mailing list? (It is also not clear to me why the problem only surfaces with the longer URL because URL-ENCODE has to be called in both cases.) Cheers, Edi.

The query part must be set to NIL, not "". See release 0.4.2. Sorry, Edi.
