So, clisp.cons.org is broken: it redirects to https (which, BTW, clisp
open-http cannot handle) and then breaks.

Note that CLISP hg tip does _not_ refer to clisp.cons.org, it uses
clisp.org instead.

This is, indeed, a bug.
However, the rudimentary http client in clhs.lisp cannot handle https anyway.
