On a fresh Lispworks instance, on my MacBook, I get a heap of messages like

[2012-01-10 17:13:59 [ERROR]] Error while processing connection: No applicable methods for #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION FLEXI-STREAMS:EXTERNAL-FORMAT-NAME 21A56722> with args (:UTF8)

--- sooo, it appears that Hunchentoot is only prepared to accept a flexi-streams:external-format, and not just a keyword symbol. I have the explanation I needed, and at least two acceptable fixes :-)

Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
