I need a simple web client which can pass username and password for the
server. First I tried cl-trivial-https package in Debian GNU/Linux but
it doesn't seem to support authentication. I also tried cl-webactions
package but it led to dependency problems and some of the components
don't even work in Clisp.

What solution would you suggest?

(Well, I could use external "wget" program.)

You don't need the full webactions package to do a client side
request, you can do with allegroserve only, or more specifically
net.aserve.client:do-http-request

Hoever, I've never used portable allegroserve under clisp so the
dependency problems you describe might still be there.

You could try Drakma: http://weitz.de/drakma/

Yes, it didn't work with Clisp.

Sadly that's not packaged for Debian and its dependencies can't be
satisfied with Debian packages. Too much hassle. It seems that
(run-program "wget") is the easiest solution, and the most portable.

Thanks anyway.

Maybe it's easier to forget about the Debian packages and use clbuld
instead?

http://common-lisp.net/project/clbuild/

You might have to get all the different revision control systems up
and running, but after that clbuild will handle downloading of various
CL libraries for you.
