Actually, I wanted to mention that library to *you* Edi. What do you think about supporting gzip (and/or deflate) encoding? I was going to add it to TBNL -- the application I am working on used to be in Java and gzip encoding had an enormous (positive) impact on performance. If somebody else is already doing this then I won't worry about it.
Hmm, since I've always used Apache/mod_lisp in front of TBNL I also used mod_gzip which works quite well. I don't think that adding this to TBNL is a good idea because it'll complicate things and is already available in the backend. What do others think?
I also think that trying to duplicate Apache is a waste of time. Having a lightweight standalone front-end for demos or small apps is a good idea but using it for real production applications seems a bad idea.
