Hi folks,
I'd like to be able to fetch data from an HTTPS url. I don't see this
capability within the existing Chicken eggs. A libcurl binding for
chicken would probably be the most expedient route.

Hello,
I'm sorry I can't offer a ready-made binding ;) But instead of binding to
libcurl wouldn't it be nicer to program some convenient interface to
OpenSSL instead -- best something very similar to the existing tcp
interface, just like the API available in PLT Scheme for example -- and
adapt other existing eggs, for example the http egg, to support it?

Hello everybody,
I have started work on CHICKEN -> OpenSSL SSL/TLS library bindings. I
think it will be possible indeed to keep the interface largely compatible
to the PLT Scheme openssl unit.
I will have to duplicate a whole bunch of code from CHICKEN's tcp unit,
though. It's just a matter of copy and paste, but my question to Felix is,
whether it wouldn't perhaps make sense to export all the ##net#...
bindings from that unit, so that I could use them?
On I sidenote, I also found this comment
";; PLT makes this an optional arg to tcp-listen. Should we as well?"
in tcp.scm, pertaining to the SO_REUSEADDR feature of sockets. My answer
to this question would be yes ;)
cu,
Thomas
