That is exactly what I do every time I evaluate a new LISP: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2019/06/20/2310

Sadly, most LISP and Scheme implementations spend fourteen pages of README material explaining why they reinvented a particular wheel instead of, you know, putting a simple trolley together. HTTP implementations in most LISP/Schemes are particularly bad/abstruse, to the point where I just give up if I can’t do a simple HTTPS request with bearer auth and a JSON payload inside of 30 minutes.

Serving HTTP… oh boy, don’t get me started.
