[armedbear-devel] creating a socket with :element-type 'octet fails on ABCL

[Cyrus Harmon]

I've been trying to get drakma (and cl+ssl and CFFI, etc...) working on ABCL. Now I manage to get most of the way there, but I run into an error down in usocket:socket-connect (well, get-socket-stream really):


:ELEMENT-TYPE must be CHARACTER or (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8).
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR]

Restarts:
 0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
 1: [*ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
 2: [ABORT] Abort thread.

Any ideas if get-socket-stream needs some octet support or what the best way to address this is?
