CL+SSL can write to any file descriptor connected to a socket, and
should work with usocket.  Just ask usocket for the socket's stream,
then use CL+SSL:STREAM-FD with CL+SSL:MAKE-SSL-CLIENT-STREAM on that.

If you are thinking about `trivial-https', I recommend using Edi Weitz'
Drakma instead, which is a full-featured HTTP client with support for
CL+SSL.
