Both DRAKMA:HTTP-REQUEST and DEX:GET with SBCL works just fine for me, it seems your Lisp environments haven’t quite got the CA infrastructure correct, as you seem to be getting certificate verification errors both in both of your Lispy requests (also see, that DEXADOR followed the redirect correctly and silently):

* (dex:get "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://planet.lisp.org&source=gmail-imap&ust=1684145115000000&usg=AOvVaw0dyFcmCQXkHNADgO05Ereo")

debugger invoked on a DEXADOR.ERROR:HTTP-REQUEST-BAD-REQUEST in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {70052EAB43}>:
