I want to GET a URL and put the result into a string with as little fuss as possible, but nothing seems to work. I am trying to follow: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/web-scraping.html using SBCL and LispWorks. I'm on a MacBook (Ventura) and am getting SSL errors (plus unicode errors in Lispworks). Reminders as to how to fix such problems would be appreciated... thanks pt

If all you need is to fetch whatever is at a url, the following should suffice: (dexador:get "https://planet.lisp.org <https://planet.lisp.org/>") or (drakma:http-request "https://planet.lisp.org <https://planet.lisp.org/>") What errors, if any, do you get from these?
Or you could consider running curl or wget as a subprocess. On Sun, May 7, 2023 at 2:59 PM Raymond Wiker <rwiker@gmail.com> wrote:

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}>: An HTTP request to "https://planet.lisp.org" returned 400 bad request. <html> <head><title>400 Bad Request</title></head> <body> <center><h1>400 Bad Request</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.19.0</center> </body> </html>

Looks like you have a really old version of cl+ssl installed… You should update you quicklisp dist(s). I normally do (ql:update-client) (ql:update-all-dists) After doing this, you will(?) have to restart your lisp environment.
