I'm about to release CL-SQS, an interface to the Amazon Web Services SQS service. It uses Drakma for HTTP requests. However, I have encountered one issue: Amazon SQS requires POST requests with URL parameters, and Drakma by default does not want to include any parameters with POST requests.

Yes, because usually the parameters of a POST request are in the body.

•          (when (and parameters (not (eq method :post)))
  

•          (when parameters
  

That might be the right thing for your library, but it's certainly wrong for Drakma in general as it would always send the parameters twice.

I'll see if I can come up with something better.
