I use Drakma in my cl-openid project, and I need to construct query string on the fly. I need to pass along the URI objects with the query string, and finally I do not only call HTTP-REQUEST, but also call #'HUNCHENTOOT:REDIRECT on them, or just return those URLs as part of a message. Drakma allows to build query string only directly as part of HTTP-REQUEST, and does not make the functionality available to user.

At the moment I use unexported ALIST-TO-URL-ENCODED-STRING, but I'd like to ask if there is any possibility of having ALIST-TO-URL-ENCODED-STRING and URL-ENCODE exported as part of official API? It would be certainly useful, and I think I am not the only one who needs to manipulate URIs and query strings.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I was on vacation. About exporting URL-ENCODE, I'm not sure as it's already exported by Hunchentoot and will lead to conflicts if you use both packages. Exporting the other function is fine with me if you provide a patch against the dev version at bknr.net. http://weitz.de/patches.html Thanks, Edi.
