Hunchentoot uses CFFI to access the OpenSSL libraries, for which two issues might arise:

Patches

Quicklisp system Patch Hunchentoot for socket timeouts hunchentoot-1.2.6 hunchentoot-1.2.6-abcl-20121020a.patch CFFI for access to CL+SSL cffi_0.10.7.1 cffi-abcl-20121021a.patch

The following patches currently need to be applied to the Quicklisp installed software.

To apply a given patch, one has to navigate to the directory in which Quicklisp stores the Lisp for the system which will have the parent directory ~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/ . From the directory of the appropiate software (here hunchentoot-1.2.6 and cffi_0.10.7.1 ) apply the patch via

cmd$ patch -p1 < LOCATION-OF-PATCH

where location-of-patch is replaced with a path which resolves to the location of the patch where you have downloaded it to the local filesystem.
