[tbnl-announce] New version 0.5.0 / Multiple back-ends
by Edi Weitz 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hi! I've finally found some time to incorporate Bob's changes, test them and document them. I've also changed the logging API and re-factored some of the code. I'm sure I broke something in the process so please test... :) Specifically, I tried to explain in the documentation how TBNL talks with the different back-ends. I also changed the test setup so that it now hopefully adapts to all three back-ends and gives new users a chance to understand how TBNL works. While testing the "stand-alone" version I had some problems with MS Internet Explorer but I /think/ I've nailed them down now. Note that some of the changes in 0.5.0 might break API compatibility with earlier versions so be careful if you use this release for an existing deployment of TBNL and resort to the docs if in doubt. Special thanks to Bob Hutchison who made this all possible! Download: <http://weitz.de/files/tbnl.tar.gz>. Have fun, Edi.

I've released a new version of TBNL (0.4.0) which includes your patches and some initial documentation on how to use it - please check. It worked for me with LispWorks and AllegroCL but I get an error with CMUCL: No matching method for the generic function #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION ARANEIDA::HTTP-LISTENER-THREADS (1) {5964F471}>, when called with arguments (#<ARANEIDA:SERVE-EVENT-REVERSE-PROXY-LISTENER {593B3BC5}>).

I've modified it and added it to the TBNL distribution. It'll now basically show the same pages the Apache/mod_lisp demo shows. Hope that's OK for you. Thanks again, Edi.

I think this is probably a bug in TBNL. Thanks for the info, I've uploaded a new version (0.3.13) which fixes this. Stefan Scholl provided some additional info which I'll include here: 1. This bug didn't show up before because Apache silently parses and rewrites this header. Only because you sent it through Araneida which obviously just lets it through could you see the wrong format. 2. While Safari's behaviour is not strictly wrong it doesn't follow the recommendation given in the RFC to send the header back exactly as received from the server. Thanks again, Edi.
