Re: Believing in what you sell...
Simon, et al.,
I am no great LISP hacker, and as a former Unix sysadmin I got a mac so I
wouldn't have to sysadmin again, and I intentionally don't know much about
Mac internals, particularly the afterthought TCP/IP stuff. However, I was
able to quickly put together a halfway decent web server based entirely on
the code in examples/exports.lisp. I copied over the
examples/configuration.lisp file, changing the obvious references to the
MIT network to be local. Since all my URLs are computed, I just found the
first computed url in the exports file and copied the method and the
export-url, then just sort of cut&pasted my own code into my new version.
I still don't know very much about how CL-HTTP works, and in fact my code
is probably not taking advantage of a lot of things that the software does
for you.
But it does work, and (now), reliably enough that a UPS has become an issue.
