I need to contact HTTPS servers through a proxy. I've managed to get this to work by having the http-request function issue an HTTP CONNECT commmand in order to tunnel SSL through the proxy: the patch is below (against 0.11.5). On the downside, it only works for Lispworks.

Thanks. Is this based on some standard or does it cater to one specific server? Drakma's (limited) proxy functionality didn't work for you?

--- a/request.lisp +++ b/request.lisp

Whatever email app you used ruined the patch. Can you send it as an attachment or with another program?

Cheers, Edi.
