Making requests to REST services with Drakma

Mostly a memo to self :-)

If you are using Drakma to fetch data from REST services from Common Lisp, you will probably want to execute

(push (cons "application" "json") drakma:*text-content-types*)

to tell Drakma to handle a content type of “application/json” as a text, otherwise it will be treated as binary data, and returned in an array of octets.
