I'm attempting to learn a little more about handling sockets and network connections in SBCL; so I wrote a simple wrapper for HTTP. Thus far, it merely makes a stream and performs a request to ultimately get the header data and page content of a website. Until now, it has worked at somewhat decently. Nothing to brag home about, but it a...

However, for security reasons our client has asked us to change the web service port to 8080 so that they can allow access only to that port for remote consumers of the w...
The title says it all. Added: I am conducting a study for a new system we're going to develop in my work. It consists in authenticating users, displaying what files they want to download and downloading them. Also, if the files are not readily available, the user can't download them, but the server obtains a copy of the requested file a...
