I just started using tbnl. I am using TBNL 0.2.9, mod_lisp 2.38, Apache 1.3.31, and SBCL 0.8.13.80. To test things, I created a small page function:

(defun xach-test () (no-cache) (set-cookie "USERID" :value 1) (format nil "Testing, set cookie ~A" (cookie-in "USERID")))

I added this to the dispatch table with:

(push (create-prefix-dispatcher "/username" 'xach-test) *dispatch-table*)

However, when I visited http://website/username, there was a delay of several seconds and then a blank page was shown. This showed up in the logs:

[Sat Aug 28 15:12:06 2004] [warn] Could not send complete body to client, closing socket to Lisp

I changed the number 1 to the string "1", and the page came back immediately with the expected answer.

The documentation says that cookie values are printed as with PRINC when sending to the client. Does that mean that the number 1 should work fine? If so, any thoughts on why it gives the blank page and error log message?

You've caught a bug. The docs are wrong (should be "are URL-encoded" instead of "are printed as with PRINC") and 0.2.9 didn't allow for non-string cookie values. 0.2.10 does.

Thanks, Edi.
