The next logical step is to write an HTTP header parser for TBNL (or negotiate with the Araneida folks to use their code).
I would be very interested to add such a front-end to the mod_lisp repository. (Some kind of mod_pure_lisp ;-) Several people (including me) have been interested by the possibility of having a light-weight stand-alone server compatible with mod_lisp (mostly for demonstrations or small apps) without all the overhead and constraints imposed by paserve or areneida. As I posted here some time ago, I used paserve for this but a clean stand-alone HTTP front-end would be nicer.
Actually, the bits and pieces that are in TBNL's modlisp.lisp file are probably sufficient to be used as a simple stand-alone server (when the last patch I posted is applied, or Edi releases a new version). I think maybe some small refactoring will make things a bit cleaner, but if you are willing to write a standard TBNL handler for the requests it works now (i.e. you don't have to use any of TBNL's facilities other than the dispatcher, which isn't so bad because you'll probably want to dispatch anyway -- and, if you are using TBNL dispatchers the server is going to be pretty clean as it is).
Cheers, bob
