[drakma-devel] http-request returns nil

[Andrei Stebakov]

Unfortunately it's not a public url, and it uses some authorization tokens
in the request, so I can't disclose it.
I am using drakma-0.11.5 and chunga-0.4.2 on Ubuntu with sbcl-1.0.15.
I am going to use *header-stream* to see if it gives some clue.
