Hunchentoot - The Common Lisp web server

----------------------------------------

Hunchentoot is a web server written in Common Lisp and at the same

time a toolkit for building dynamic websites.  As a stand-alone web

server, Hunchentoot is capable of HTTP/1.1 chunking (both directions),

persistent connections (keep-alive), and SSL.

Hunchentoot provides facilities like automatic session handling (with

and without cookies), logging, customizable error handling, and easy

access to GET and POST parameters sent by the client. It does *not*

include functionality to programmatically generate HTML output. For

this task you can use any library you like,

e.g. [CL-WHO](https://github.com/edicl/cl-who/) or

[HTML-TEMPLATE](https://github.com/edicl/html-template/).

Hunchentoot talks with its front-end or with the client over TCP/IP

sockets and optionally uses multiprocessing to handle several requests

at the same time.  Therefore, it cannot be implemented completely in

[portable Common

Lisp](http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index.htm).

It currently works with [LispWorks](http://www.lispworks.com/) and all

Lisps which are supported by the compatibility layers

[usocket](http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/) and [Bordeaux

Threads](http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/).

Hunchentoot comes with a [BSD-style

license](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php) so you

can basically do with it whatever you want.

Complete documentation for Hunchentoot including details about how to

install it can be found in the `docs` directory or at the [project

website](https://edicl.github.io/hunchentoot/).
