Trivial-sockets:
  server and client stream sockets for undemanding network applications

Usage examples:

(with-open-stream (s (trivial-sockets:open-stream "www.google.com" 80))
  (format s "HEAD / HTTP/1.0~%Host: www.google.com~%~%")
  (force-output s)
  (loop
    (let ((l (read-line s nil nil)))
      (unless l (return))
      (princ l) (terpri))))

(trivial-sockets:with-server (s (:port 8913 :reuse-address t))
   (loop
    (with-open-stream (c (trivial-sockets:accept-connection s))
        (read-line c)
        (format c "Hi there!~%"))))


Proper documentation is in trivial-sockets.texi.  If you have Texinfo
installed you can convert this to DVI or PDF using texi2dvi or
texi2pdf, or use makeinfo to create an Info file for use with Emacs or
the standalone info reader.


Installation:

Use asdf-install.

  * (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-install)
  * (asdf-install:install 'trivial-sockets)

Or if you don't have asdf-install but you do have asdf, create a
symlink from a directory in your asdf:*central-registry* and run

  * (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'trivial-sockets)

Or if you don't have asdf, either (a) get it, or (b) compile the files by
hand in an order that satisfies the dependencies in trivial-sockets.asd
