USocket on SBCL: connection refused (Drakma and Dex) - common-lisp

Question

Running simple HTTP-request:
with dexador or drakma
and on SBCL 1.4.14
and on OS X 10.13.6
with (ql:client-version) equals to "2017-03-06" and (defvar qlqs-info:*version* "2015-01-28" (I've just installed Quicklisp from https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/ via https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp)
via Emacs+SLIME or just from the command line using only SBCL
(dex:get "http://localhost:8000/wp-json/wp/v2/posts")
fails with the error (dex stacktrace)

Running the same request on Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.11.5 (DarwinX8664) works good.
Does somebody know the reason?

Answer 1

I had the same situation and I noticed my local services which Drakma tried to reach were ipv6 based, so they listened at ::1, when I set those service to listen at 127.0.0.1:xxxx explicitly instead of localhost:xxxx they became ipv4 and Drakma didn't complain any more.
