Hi, Jeff.

"Signaling an error" means in this case that work can be proceeded.

(setq *provide-use-value-restart* t)

(handler-bind ((flexi-stream-encoding-error (lambda (condition)

                              (use-value \?))))
          (drakma:http-request("http://bad-host/bad-page.html")))

This is example from flexi-stream documentation.

You can easy get "the best approximation of the content" using drakma, but with more control. So it is unclear to my, what problems you have.

Hi Anton,

Thanks for the help. Will the example above work for any bad charactor, or only the one set by

(setf flexi-streams::*SUBSTITUTION-CHAR* (code-char #xA0))

The only example I've run across is the site I mentioned, but it seems like the possibilities for bad html are endless.
