And clisp does not yet have a https client.

More and more of the web switches over from http to https. It was easy to
write an http client in a couple of lines of code (like in clhs.lisp).
But for https, one needs SSL support with all its intricacies (TLS protocol
versions, certificate checking etc.).

Anyone wants to contribute a clisp module that implements a http/https client?
It's not needed to write the code from scratch; such code already exists
(under usable licenses).

According to [1], the most compelling choices would be:
  * drakma
  * drakma-async, based on cl-async, itself based on libuv.

Any takers?
