My name is Anthony Ventimiglia, I am working on a library for writing CGI programs in lisp, it's got a working name of "cl-cgi". So far it's in it's early stages, but it is useable (for cmucl).
Out of curiosity, what does it actually do?
I'm in favour of accepting this project. Others who think otherwise?
I think it is ok, but I'd like to know too what it actually does...
I haven't seen my messages from yesterday show up, so I'll try again. The CL-CGI library I initially sent the request for was mostly a small package which would ease writing CGI programs. Basically it set some variables according to the environment passed from the server, and has a url decoder to decode HTTP post and get data.
Since submitting my initial request I have taken this small idea further into what I am calling CLHP, the Common Lisp Hypertext Preprocessor. Basically what this is is the ease of PHP with the joys of Lisp. You can create dynamic content using lisp embedded in XML processing instructions.
Right now I have a working version which works with Apache, through a lisp CGI gateway. But I plan on writing a Apache module.
The CLHP name is really a working name right now, since XML is not really just a Hypertext thing, this could also be used independently of a HTTP server.
I hope that's a good enough description, I'd really appreciate it if you would agree to host this and be willing to enable the server to run it.
