Hey Everyone,
So I was wondering if there is any way for us to get multiple post parameters with the same name from a Hunchentoot request without incurring a performance hit. Appreciate any help that could be offered over this.
Thank you all in advance,
Regards,

Mackram,
how does the POST-PARAMETERS method not meet your requirements? What exactly do you mean by "without incurring a performance hit"?

Hey Hans the documentation states that post-parameters will return alist and according to my knowledge (which I admit is basic) processing alist for search is not very recommended please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks

Hunchentoot uses an alist for the headers internally, so you may as well do it externally. Using alists for large amounts of data can be unacceptably slow as access time is linear. For (post) parameters, this is not a problem as the number of parameters is slow and a "better" data structure may very well be slower for the small number of items that typically constitute a request parameter list.
Before being scared about certain data structures in the future, make some measurements and consider the use case.
