Hi,

...I'm kind of a newbie, so please forgive me if I make stupid questions.
I've been using drakma to request html pages and everything seems to work
fine.

I'm now using drakma to make a request to the new youtube json api, and I
get chunked content:

(http-request "
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/-/Music/?max-results=10&vq=bush&alt=json&format=5
")

...chunked content...

((:CONTENT-TYPE . "application/json; charset=UTF-8")
  (:CACHE-CONTROL . "max-age=0, must-revalidate, no-transform, private")
  (:GDATA-VERSION . "1.0") (:LAST-MODIFIED . "Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:20:27 GMT")
  (:TRANSFER-ENCODING . "chunked") (:DATE . "Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:20:27 GMT")
  (:SERVER . "GFE/1.3") (:CONNECTION . "Close"))
#<PURI:URI
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/-/Music/?max-results=10&vq=bush&alt=json&format=5
>
#<FLEXI-STREAMS:FLEXI-IO-STREAM {B90E249}>

The thing is that I need it to be a string in order to decode to json format
using the cl-json lisp package.
I tried changing the external-output parameter without any good results.

Do you have some advice on how I could serialize this content?

Thanks at advanced!

Your library is great!

Nico.

Your problem is not chunked content (Drakma takes care of that
automatically) but that the server returns a content type which is by
default not recognized as text.  See for example here:

  http://weitz.de/drakma/#*text-content-types*
  http://weitz.de/drakma/#*body-format-function*

In your particular case, something like this will probably do the
trick:

  (let ((*text-content-types* (cons '("application" . "json")
                                    *text-content-types*)))
    (http-request "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/-/Music/?max-results=10&vq=bush&alt=json&format=5"))

Cheers,
Edi.
