Re: [hunchentoot-devel] Request methods suffixed with * -- not backwards compatible?

We thought about this as well and eventually decided to go this way. One of the goals of the new release is a clearer CLOS-based model of the request/response phase and we think that the names should reflect this. I'm usually trying to be as backwards-compatible as possible (mind you, I have to update my web apps as well!), but sometimes it simply isn't possible.

So that's that then, which is fine. I still wish, though, that this didn't have to happen. :)

Still, I can't really see what will be gained by exporting the request(or reply) accessors. If you can explain what you have in mind when you say a clearer CLOS-based model, and how it will help, that will be great.
