I encountered this same error after upgrading packages via quicklisp. I rolled back cl+ssl to version cl+ssl-20130128-git and the problem went away. I have not had time to investigate further yet. -Kevin On 03/21/2013 02:41 PM, Peter Kuchta wrote:

Kevin, Thank you very much - I was absolutely sure I was doing something wrong! Could you please show how I can roll back to cl+ssl-20130128-git ? I don't know how to do it, I'm a quicklisp newbie. Many thanks, Piotr On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 9:44 PM, Kevin Raison <raison@chatsubo.net> wrote:

You can check out the latest cl+ssl - which contains a fix for the problem: cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ git clone git://gitorious.org/cl-plus-ssl/cl-plus-ssl.git Quicklisp will automatically find cl+ssl from that location. Remember to remove that checkout after you've upgraded to a newer quicklisp release that has the fix in the future. -Hans On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 10:54 PM, Peter Kuchta <peter@kuchta.co.uk> wrote:

I was getting this error too, I reverted to the previous version of cl+ssl in quicklisp by putting it in the local-projects directory. I've been meaning to report another problem I've had with the new version of drakma, it seems that when I POST login details to a site that I'm using it replies with a redirect, and then drakma tries to POST the login details to the redirected page rather than accessing it with a GET. I'll try and make a test case sometime this weekend. On 21/03/13 21:41, Peter Kuchta wrote:

Depending on the status code, that's actually valid behaviour. (see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2) HTH Ralf Mattes

Drakma's behavior with respect to redirects has recently changed so that it is standard compliant. I would like to keep it that way, but if this is a hurdle that can't be worked around, I am open to suggestions to change it again. -Hans On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 5:55 PM, <rm@seid-online.de> wrote:

How is the site redirecting? What's the HTTP status code they use?
and then drakma tries to POST the login details to the redirected page rather than accessing it with a GET. I'll try and make a test case sometime this weekend.
Depending on the status code, that's actually valid behaviour. (see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2)

Hi everybody,

Unfortunately, I get an error, although the data seems to be encoded OK to JSON and the headers generated by drakma too, I think. Apparently something is wrong with the :content (the list of integers in the errors message is just the list of ASCII codes of the JSON encoded data).

Depending on the status code, that's actually valid behaviour. (see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2)

Peter, thanks for the bug report. I fixed the problem ( https://github.com/edicl/drakma/commit/1973b62d969b886fc536d4ebd44cfe570308c...) and released a new version of DRAKMA. -Hans On Sat, Mar 23, 2013 at 6:59 AM, Peter Stirling <peter@pjstirling.plus.com>wrote:

I've been meaning to report another problem I've had with the new version of drakma, it seems that when I POST login details to a site that I'm using it replies with a redirect,
