Hello,

according to the FAQ, you can use QuickLisp behind a proxy by means of
the :proxy option of quicklisp-quickstart:install. However, I'm
behind a proxy which requires authentication. If I try to pass my
credentials along the proxy address, like this:

http://user:password@address:port

QuickLisp bails out:

_____ BEGIN OF ERROR MESSAGE
Error: Unexpected status for #<QLQS-HTTP::URL "http://
beta.quicklisp.org/quickstart/asdf.lisp">: 407
1 (abort) Return to level 0.
2 Return to top loop level 0.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other
options.
_____ END OF ERROR MESSAGE

I think "407" should mean HTTP Error 407, that is "Proxy
authentication required".

Software:
- LispWorks Personal 6.0
- Windows XP SP3

Any help?

Thanks.

Sorry, the error message is:

_____ BEGIN OF ERROR MESSAGE

Error: Bad port in URL "http://user:password@address:port"
1 (abort) Return to level 0.
2 Return to top loop level 0.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other
options.
_____ END OF ERROR MESSAGE

The original error happens when I leave out username and password.

Sorry about that. The current bootstrap and client do not support
proxies with authentication. I created
http://github.com/quicklisp/quicklisp-bootstrap/issues#issue/2 to track
this issue.
