I have two questions. The first is probably a stupid one: is it possible to serve both http and https on the same port? With one Hunchentoot instance?
No, that's generally not possible. It's not a Hunchentoot limitation. How is the client supposed to know which protocol they should use?
Nitpick: theoretically, it may be possible. Client is supposed to know this by URL anyway (http://example.com:42/ vs https://example.com:42/), and server should be able to recognise whether start of client's request is encrypted or not.
OTOH I never heard of such functionality, and can't imagine any scenario (maybe except some case of guerilla deployment or firewall piercing) where this could be actually useful.
