    Quicklisp's http.lisp has something like that, but it's not very short
    (it has code to handle chunked encoding for example). The old
    asdf-install has http code and it's pretty short.


I am considering including http.lisp in the contributed sources, packaging it differently, but adding the original license. This would allow the test suite to 1) download quicklisp, sandbox it and test a set of libraries, 2) download the ansi test suite and run it and 3) download additional sets of software (Maxima, fricas, etc). In 2) and 3) I might have to set up a mirror for the repositories making nightly tarballs, but I believe it is doable.

Juanjo:

Since I already have quicklisp installed and it's accessible from slime, or via clbuild using a command shell, it would be redundant to have it (re-)installed by the ECL test suite unless it was isolated to the ecl-test folder.
