Hi all. I started using drakma the other day to do some client work with
reviewboard, and I had a little trouble. Reviewboard requires http puts
using form-data for updates (
http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/1.6/webapi/2.0/overview/). Drakma
explicitly disallows this.
I modified request.lisp to let my client do what I needed. Since this is my
first time writing a webservice client, I'm not sure if reviewboard or
drakma is wrong, or if I misunderstood something. Below is the diff of what
I did.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
-Ben
