This Franz engineer knows the solution to the mystery ;)
I have studied CL-HTTP quite a bit and understand it enough to have
incorporated our AllegroStore CLOS object database system into it, and
also developed a timecard application which ran internally within Franz.
This CL-HTTP timecard app was used daily by Franz employees
until recently.
The timecard app is now running under a new, entirely different Web
server which I developed in Lisp for Franz.
This server, which we are calling Charlotte, focuses
on simplifying the task of creating and managing a website. As such, it
has a different purpose and a different target user base than CL-HTTP.
Charlotte has been running the public Franz website off and on for 6-8
months while I develop and test it. It will be up on a newly installed
host machine next week. I can't give you further details on Charlotte at
this time, but we'll be making a formal public announcement about it
on our website fairly soon.

P.S. In regards to TopCL, the parallel CL I developed,
and my old company Top Level, Inc,
the company ceased operations about 5 years ago.
