Which version of CL-HTTP are you using?  I didn't think anything needed doing
for 70.156, though you probably need to load CLIM before CL-HTTP.

Here is the list of differences that I have found.  It is quite likely that
most of these don't matter (esp. the symbols with no definitions, which
presumably are not used by CL-HTTP).

CL-HTTP CLIM-SYS symbols not exported from CLIM's CLIM-SYS:

MAKE-PROCESS-LOOP 
PROCESS-ACTIVE-P 
PROCESS-DISABLE 
PROCESS-ENABLE 
PROCESS-ITERATE 
PROCESS-KILL 
PROCESS-LOOP 
PROCESS-PRESET 
PROCESS-PRIORITY 
PROCESS-RESTART 
PROCESS-SLEEP 
UNWIND-PROCESS 

CL-HTTP CLIM-SYS symbols with no definitions:

*MULTIPROCESSING-P*
ALLOCATE-RESOURCE
CLEAR-RESOURCE
DEALLOCATE-RESOURCE
DEFGENERIC*
DEFMETHOD*
DEFRESOURCE
MAKE-PROCESS-LOOP
MAP-RESOURCE
PROCESS-ITERATE
PROCESS-LOOP
SETF*
USING-RESOURCE

CL-HTTP CLIM-SYS symbols with different arguments to CLIM's CLIM-SYS:

WITH-RECURSIVE-LOCK-HELD
WITH-LOCK-HELD
