It's some 8 years since I last worked on a LISP project, so I'm afraid I
feel a bit of a newbie all over again.
I want to do an HTTP GET and/ or HTTP POSTto a URL and return the resulting
web page as a string. The URL may or may not be via SSL (HTTPS).
Whats the best way to do this? Is there a "standard" way to do this - i.e. a
way that will work across several of the LISP implementations (Particularly
CLISP and Allegro) ?
Any information gratefully received,
Rob Blackwell

Sam,
Thanks for your prompt response.
I've successfully downloaded and installed clocc in /usr/local/src (I'm
running debian, so I wonder whether there was a way to do it with apt-get
instead?)
Anyway, I've updated my .clisprc to
(setq *clocc-root* "/usr/local/src/clocc/")
(load (concatenate 'string *clocc-root* "clocc"))
(load (translate-logical-pathname "clocc:src;cllib;base"))
(load (translate-logical-pathname "clocc:src;cllib;url"))
And I'm up and running, but now I seem to have a problem
(cllib:with-open-url (sock (cllib:url "http://localhost/"))
(dotimes (i 10) (print (read-line sock))))
seems to work, but the following doesn't return anything
(cllib:with-open-url (sock (cllib:url "http://sourceforge.net/"))
(dotimes (i 10) (print (read-line sock))))
It seems that every external site I try doesn't work. There's no problem
with Internet connectivity otherwise - browsers etc are working fine.
I also tried these without success.
(cllib:url-send-mail (cllib:url ·····················@aws.net"))
*** - [CLLIB:URL-GET-PORT] Cannot guess the port for
·····················@aws.net"
(cllib:whois "aws.net")
Opening URL: `whois://rs.internic.net/aws.net'...
*** - [CLLIB:URL-GET-PORT] Cannot guess the port for
"whois://rs.internic.net/aws.net"
Clearly I'm doing something stupid, so please excuse my ignorance. Is there
a primer or any documentation that I should be referring to?
Thanks
Rob.

Sam,
Its a Debian Sarge GNU/Linux system
···@mercury:~$ clisp --version
GNU CLISP 2.33.2 (2004-06-02) (built 3301489576) (memory 3308644476)
Software: GNU C 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-2) ANSI C program
Features:

ANSI-CL
COMMON-LISP LISP=CL INTERPRETER SOCKETS GENERIC-STREAMS LOGICAL-PATHNAMES

Installation directory: /usr/lib/clisp/
User language: ENGLISH
Machine: I686 (I686) localhost [127.0.0.1]
/etc/services looks pretty standard to me - It lists all the IANA well known

others).
....
whois 43/tcp nicname

www 80/tcp http # WorldWideWeb HTTP
www 80/udp # HyperText Transfer

Sounds like a puzzle for 'Ethereal', watch a manual connect and then
via with-open-url. Usually the problem resolves quickly once you can
see what isn't happening.

please try this:
(cllib:with-open-url (sock (cllib:url "http://sourceforge.net/"))
(print sock)
(ext:socket-shutdown sock :output)
(print sock)
(dotimes (i 10) (print (read-line sock))))
I am lost as to the possible reasons for the broken behavior you
observe. monitoring network with ethereal (as "GP lisper" suggested)
might help...

You can do this with the client functions in (Portable)
AllegroServe.[1] An example can be found here:

Ed,
Thanks - this seems to work with HTTP, but not with HTTPS
(net.aserve.client:do-http-request "https://www.aws.net")
** - Continuable Error
FUNCALL: undefined function ACL-COMPAT.SOCKET::MAKE-SSL-CLIENT-STREAM
If you continue (by typing 'continue'): Retry
The following restarts are also available:
STORE-VALUE :R1
You may input a new value for (FDEFINITION
'ACL-COMPAT.SOCKET::MAKE-SSL-CLIENT-STREAM).
USE-VALUE :R2
You may input a value to be used instead of (FDEFINITION
'ACL-COMPAT.SOCKET::MAKE-SSL-CLIENT-STREAM).
Maybe its because it needs cl-ssl? Unfortunately that has a dependency on
cl-uffi which doesnt seem to work with clisp (?)
Maybe I should just buy Allegro?

That is an option, but if it's a Debian system like you suggest you
should try SBCL and/or CMUCL to see if they fit your needs.
(caveat: SBCL and CMUCL only run on a subset of Debian platforms. SBCL
runs on x86, PPC, Sparc, Alpha, and MIPS. See
http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html for more information.)
Since both of these implementations have native compilers they will be
quite a bit faster than CLISP for most operations as well.

I would guess so.
Depending on your needs, you might find that asomething like stunnel
(an sslifying port forwarder) will do the trick without splashing out
on Allegro - obviously it's more use when talking to a single site
than it would be for connecting to arbitrary hosts.
stunnel is at http://www.stunnel.org/ but there are also prebuilt
debian packages.

You're invited to check out my "try-it-out preliminary UFFI support"
for CLISP and report (here, in clisp-users, uffi-users or directly to
me) if you can or not get cl-ssl to run with that.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1028683&group_id=1355&atid=301355
It's in the Patches section of CLISP on sourceforge.
I've had no feedback on this UFFI for CLISP code. Maybe people are
just waiting for the "release" word to try it out?
