TBNL

Edi Weitz asked if people would be interested in using Hunchentoot (a web server implemented atop of TBNL) in Common Lisp implementations other than LispWorks. A few weeks later the Month of the Hunchentoot began. :-)

Edi Weitz released TBNL 0.3.12 two days ago (announcement).It now has a special variable *HTTP-ERROR-HANDLER* (defaults to NIL) which can hold a function designator to an error handler for HTTP errors like the 404 Not Found error. In the following example a simple error handler just handles the 404 error. Every other error returns NIL and TBNL takes over. The function could emit some explanation about the site's structure or just show the wrong part of the URL and make fun of the visitor....

Today was update day. CL-EMB 0.2.1, TBNL 0.3.4, mod_lisp 2.41, and SBCL 0.8.17. TBNL has fileupload now (since 0.3.1) and there aren't (m)any missing features left. Current versions of mod_lisp must be optained directly from the subversion repository. SBCL now has unicode support. But be careful and test your code!
