    Hunchentoot - The Common Lisp web server formerly known as TBNL
  </h2>

  <blockquote>
    <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="abstract">Abstract</a></h3>
      <p>
        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.
      </p>
      <p>
        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 <em>not</em> include functionality
        to programmatically generate HTML output. For this task you
        can use any library you like, e.g. (shameless self-plug)
        <a href="http://weitz.de/cl-who/">CL-WHO</a> or
        <a href="http://weitz.de/html-template/">HTML-TEMPLATE</a>.
      </p>
      <p>
        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 <a href="http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index.htm">portable
        Common Lisp</a>.  It currently works with <a href="http://www.lispworks.com/">LispWorks</a> and all Lisps
        which are supported by the compatibility layers <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/">usocket</a> and
        <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux
        Threads</a>.
      </p>
      <p>
        Hunchentoot comes with a
        <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php">BSD-style
        license</a> so you can basically do with it whatever you want.
      </p>

  <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="install">Download and installation</a></h3>
    Hunchentoot depends on a couple of other Lisp libraries which you'll need
    to install first:
    <ul>
      <li>Pierre R. Mai's <a href="http://www.cliki.net/md5">MD5</a>,</li>
      <li>Kevin Rosenberg's <a href="http://www.cliki.net/cl-base64">CL-BASE64</a>,</li>
      <li>Janis Dzerins' <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/rfc2388/">RFC2388</a>,</li>
      <li>Peter Seibel's <a href="http://weitz.de/cl-fad/">CL-FAD</a>,</li>
      <li>Gary King's <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/trivial-backtrace/">trivial-backtrace</a>,</li>
      <li>Erik Huelsmann's <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket">usocket</a> (unless you're using LispWorks),</li>
      <li>Greg Pfeil's <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a> (unless you're using LispWorks),
      </li>
      <li>
        David Lichteblau's <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-plus-ssl/">CL+SSL</a>
        (unless you're using LispWorks),
      </li>
      <li>
        and my own <a href="http://weitz.de/flexi-streams/">FLEXI-STREAMS</a> (0.12.0 or higher),
        <a href="http://weitz.de/chunga/">Chunga</a> (1.0.0 or
        higher), and <a href="http://weitz.de/cl-ppcre/">
        CL-PPCRE</a> (plus
        <a href="http://weitz.de/cl-who/">CL-WHO</a> for the <a href="#teen-age">example code</a>
        and <a href="http://weitz.de/drakma/">Drakma</a> for the <a href="#testing">tests</a>).
      </li>
    </ul>

    Make sure to use the <em>newest</em> versions of all of these
    libraries (which might themselves depend on other libraries) - try
    the repository versions if you're in doubt.  Note: You can compile
    Hunchentoot without SSL support - and thus without the need to
    have CL+SSL - if you add <code>:HUNCHENTOOT-NO-SSL</code> to
    <a href="http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/v_featur.htm">
      <code>*FEATURES*</code></a> <em>before</em> you compile it.
    <p>
      Hunchentoot will only work with Lisps where
      the <a href="http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/26_glo_c.htm#character_code">character
      codes</a> of
      all <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1">Latin-1</a>
      characters coincide with their
      Unicode <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_point">code
      points</a> (which is the case for all current implementations I
      know).
    </p>
    <p>
      Hunchentoot itself together with this documentation can be
      downloaded from
      <a href="https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot/archive/v1.3.0.tar.gz">https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot/archive/v1.3.0.tar.gz</a>.
      The current version is 1.3.0
    </p>
    <p>
      The preferred method to compile and load Hunchentoot is via <a href="http://www.cliki.net/asdf">ASDF</a>.  If you want to avoid
      downloading and installing all the dependencies manually, give
      Zach Beane's excellent <a href="http://www.quicklisp.org/">Quicklisp</a> system a try.

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="port80">Running Hunchentoot on port 80</a></h4>

      Hunchentoot does not come with code to help with running it on a
      privileged port (i.e. port 80 or 443) on Unix-like operating
      systems.  Modern Unix-like systems have specific, non-portable
      ways to allow non-root users to listen to privileged ports, so
      including such functionality in Hunchentoot was considered
      unnecessary.  Please refer to online resources for help.  At the
      time of this writing, the YAWS documentation has a <a href="http://yaws.hyber.org/privbind.yaws">comprehensive
      writeup</a> on the topic.
    

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="proxy">Hunchentoot behind a proxy</a></h4>

      If you're feeling unsecure about exposing Hunchentoot to the wild,
      wild Internet or if your Lisp web application is part of a larger
      website, you can hide it behind a
      <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server">proxy server</a>.
      One approach that I have used several times is to employ Apache's
      <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a>
      module with a configuration that looks like this:

<pre><a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass" class="noborder">ProxyPass</a> /hunchentoot http://127.0.0.1:3000/hunchentoot
<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse" class="noborder">ProxyPassReverse</a> /hunchentoot http://127.0.0.1:3000/hunchentoot</pre>

      This will tunnel all requests where the URI path begins with
      <code>"/hunchentoot"</code> to a (Hunchentoot) server listening on
      port 3000 on the same machine.

      <p>
        Of course, there are
        <a href="http://www.red-bean.com/pipermail/lispweb/2006-October/001342.html">several
          other</a> (more lightweight) web proxies that you could use
        instead of Apache.

  <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="teen-age">Your own webserver (the easy teen-age New York version)</a></h3>
    Starting your own web server is pretty easy.  Do something like this:
<pre>(hunchentoot:<a class="noborder" href="#teen-age">start</a> (make-instance 'hunchentoot:<a class="noborder" href="#acceptor">easy-acceptor</a> :port 4242))</pre>
    That's it.  Now you should be able to enter the address
    "<a href="http://127.0.0.1:4242/"><code>http://127.0.0.1:4242/</code></a>" in
    your browser and see something, albeit nothing very interesting
    for now.

    <p>
      By default, Hunchentoot serves the files from the
      <code><i>www/</i></code> directory in its source tree.  In the
      distribution, that directory contains a HTML version of the
      documentation as well as the error templates.  The location of
      the document root directory can be specified when creating a new
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor">ACCEPTOR</a></code> instance by the way of the
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-document-root">ACCEPTOR-DOCUMENT-ROOT</a></code>.  Likewise, the
      location of the error template directory can be specified by the
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-error-template-directory">ACCEPTOR-ERROR-TEMPLATE-DIRECTORY</a></code>.  Both
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-document-root">ACCEPTOR-DOCUMENT-ROOT</a></code> and
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-error-template-directory">ACCEPTOR-ERROR-TEMPLATE-DIRECTORY</a></code> can be
      specified using a logical pathname, which will be translated
      once when the <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor">ACCEPTOR</a></code> is instantiated.
    </p>

    <p>
      The <code xmlns=""><a href="#easy-acceptor">EASY-ACCEPTOR</a></code> class implements a
      framework for developing web applications.  Handlers are defined
      using the <code xmlns=""><a href="#define-easy-handler">DEFINE-EASY-HANDLER</a></code> macro.
      Request dispatching is performed according to the list of
      dispatch functions in <code xmlns=""><a href="#*dispatch-table*">*DISPATCH-TABLE*</a></code>.
      Each of the functions on that list is called to determine
      whether it wants to handle the request, provided as single
      argument.  If a dispatcher function wants to handle the request,
      it returns another function to actually create the desired page.
    </p>

    <p>
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#define-easy-handler">DEFINE-EASY-HANDLER</a></code> is accompanied by a set
      of dispatcher creation functions that can be used to create
      dispatchers for standard tasks.  These are documented in the <a class="noborder" href="#easy-handlers">subchapter on easy
      handlers</a>
    </p>

    <p>
      Now be a bit more adventurous, try this
<pre>(hunchentoot:<a class="noborder" href="#define-easy-handler">define-easy-handler</a> (say-yo :uri "/yo") (name)
  (setf (hunchentoot:<a class="noborder" href="#content-type*">content-type*</a>) "text/plain")
  (format nil "Hey~@[ ~A~]!" name))</pre>
      and see what happens at "<a href="http://127.0.0.1:4242/yo"><code>http://127.0.0.1:4242/yo</code></a>" or
      "<a href="http://127.0.0.1:4242/yo?name=Dude"><code>http://127.0.0.1:4242/yo?name=Dude</code></a>" .
    </p>

    <p>
    Hunchentoot comes with a little example website which you can use
    to see if it works and which should also demonstrate a couple of
    the things you can do with Hunchentoot.  To start the example
    website, enter the following code into your listener:

<pre>(ql:quickload "Hunchentoot-test")
(<a class="noborder" href="http://common-lisp.net/~mmommer/asdf-howto.shtml#sec11">asdf:oos</a> 'asdf:load-op :hunchentoot-test)</pre>

    Now go to "<a href="http://127.0.0.1:4242/hunchentoot/test"><code>http://127.0.0.1:4242/hunchentoot/test</code></a>" and play a bit.

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="acceptors">Acceptors</a></h4>

      If you want Hunchentoot to actually do something, you have to create and
      <a href="#teen-age">start</a> an <a href="#acceptor">acceptor</a>.
      You can also run several acceptors in one image, each one
      listening on a different port.

      <br><b>acceptor</b><blockquote><clix:description xmlns:clix="http://bknr.net/clixdoc">
          To create a Hunchentoot webserver, you make an instance of
          this class or one of its subclasses and use the generic
          function <code><a href="#start">START</a></code> to start it (and
          <code><a href="#stop">STOP</a></code> to stop it).  Use the
          <code xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">:port</code> initarg if you don't want to listen
          on the default http port 80.  If 0 is specified for the
          port, the system chooses a random port to listen on.  The
          port number choosen can be retrieved using the
          <code><a href="#acceptor-port">ACCEPTOR-PORT</a></code> accessor.  The port
          number chosen is retained across stopping and starting the
          acceptor.

            There are other initargs most of which you probably

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="acceptor-behaviour">Customizing acceptor behaviour</a></h4>

      If you want to modify what acceptors do, you should subclass
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor">ACCEPTOR</a></code> (or <code xmlns=""><a href="#ssl-acceptor">SSL-ACCEPTOR</a></code>) and
      specialize the generic functions that constitute their behaviour (see
      example below).  The life of an acceptor looks like this: It is started
      with the function <code xmlns=""><a href="#start">START</a></code> which immediately calls
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#start-listening">START-LISTENING</a></code> and then applies the function
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#execute-acceptor">EXECUTE-ACCEPTOR</a></code> to its <a href="#taskmasters">taskmaster</a>.  This function will eventually call
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#accept-connections">ACCEPT-CONNECTIONS</a></code> which is responsible for setting
      things up to wait for clients to connect.  For each incoming connection
      which comes in, <code xmlns=""><a href="#handle-incoming-connection">HANDLE-INCOMING-CONNECTION</a></code> is applied
      to the taskmaster which will either call
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#process-connection">PROCESS-CONNECTION</a></code> directly, or will create a thread
      to call it.  <code xmlns=""><a href="#process-connection">PROCESS-CONNECTION</a></code> calls
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#initialize-connection-stream">INITIALIZE-CONNECTION-STREAM</a></code> before it does anything
      else, then it selects and calls a function which handles the <a href="#requests">request</a>, and finally it sends the <a href="#replies">reply</a> to the client before it calls
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#reset-connection-stream">RESET-CONNECTION-STREAM</a></code>.  If the connection is
      persistent, this procedure is repeated (except for the intialization step)
      in a loop until the connection is closed.  The acceptor is stopped with
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#stop">STOP</a></code>.

      <p>
        If you just want to use the standard acceptors that come with
        Hunchentoot, you don't need to know anything about the functions
        listed in this section.

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="taskmasters">Taskmasters</a></h4>
      As a "normal" Hunchentoot user, you can completely ignore
      taskmasters and skip this section.  But if you're still reading,
      here are the dirty details: Each <a href="#acceptors">acceptor</a> has a taskmaster associated with
      it at creation time.  It is the taskmaster's job to distribute
      the work of accepting and handling incoming connections.  The
      acceptor calls the taskmaster if appropriate and the taskmaster
      calls back into the acceptor.  This is done using the generic
      functions described in this and the <a href="#acceptor-behaviour">previous</a> section.  Hunchentoot
      comes with two standard taskmaster implementations - one (which
      is the default used on multi-threaded Lisps) which starts a new
      thread for each incoming connection and one which handles all
      requests sequentially.  It should for example be relatively
      straightforward to create a taskmaster which allocates threads
      from a fixed pool instead of creating a new one for each
      connection.

      <p>
        You can control the resources consumed by a threaded taskmaster via
        two initargs. <code>:max-thread-count</code> lets you set the maximum
        number of request threads that can be processes simultaneously.  If
        this is <code>nil</code>, the is no thread limit imposed.

        <code>:max-accept-count</code> lets you set the maximum number of requests
        that can be outstanding (i.e. being processed or queued for processing).

        If <code>:max-thread-count</code> is supplied and <code>:max-accept-count</code>
        is <code>NIL</code>, then a <code xmlns=""><a href="#+http-service-unavailable+">+HTTP-SERVICE-UNAVAILABLE+</a></code>
        error will be generated if there are more than the max-thread-count
        threads processing requests.  If both <code>:max-thread-count</code>
        and <code>:max-accept-count</code> are supplied, then max-thread-count
        must be less than max-accept-count; if more than max-thread-count
        requests are being processed, then requests up to max-accept-count
        will be queued until a thread becomes available.  If more than
        max-accept-count requests are outstanding, then a <code xmlns=""><a href="#+http-service-unavailable+">+HTTP-SERVICE-UNAVAILABLE+</a></code>
        error will be generated.

        In a load-balanced environment with multiple Hunchentoot servers, it's
        reasonable to provide <code>:max-thread-count</code> but leave
        <code>:max-accept-count</code> null.   This will immediately result
        in <code xmlns=""><a href="#+http-service-unavailable+">+HTTP-SERVICE-UNAVAILABLE+</a></code> when one server is
        out of resources, so the load balancer can try to find another server.

        In an environment with a single Hunchentoot server, it's reasonable
        to provide both <code>:max-thread-count</code> and a somewhat larger value
        for <code>:max-accept-count</code>.  This will cause a server that's almost
        out of resources to wait a bit; if the server is completely out of resources,
        then the reply will be <code xmlns=""><a href="#+http-service-unavailable+">+HTTP-SERVICE-UNAVAILABLE+</a></code>.
        The default for these values is 100 and 120, respectively.

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="request-dispatch">Request dispatch and handling</a></h4>

      The main job of <code xmlns=""><a href="#handle-request">HANDLE-REQUEST</a></code> is to select
      and call a function which handles the request, i.e. which looks
      at the data the client has sent and prepares an appropriate
      reply to send back.  This is by default implemented as follows:
      <p>
        The ACCEPTOR class defines a
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-dispatch-request">ACCEPTOR-DISPATCH-REQUEST</a></code> generic
        function which is used to actually dispatch the request.  This
        function is called by the default method of
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#handle-request">HANDLE-REQUEST</a></code>.  Each
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-dispatch-request">ACCEPTOR-DISPATCH-REQUEST</a></code> method looks at
        the request object and depending on its contents decides to
        either handle the request or call the next method.
      </p>
      <p>
        In order to dispatch a request, Hunchentoot calls the
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-dispatch-request">ACCEPTOR-DISPATCH-REQUEST</a></code> generic
        functions.  The method for <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor">ACCEPTOR</a></code> tries
        to serve a static file relative to it's
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-document-root">ACCEPTOR-DOCUMENT-ROOT</a></code>.  Application
        specific acceptor subclasses will typically perform URL
        parsing and dispatching according to the policy that is
        required.
      </p>
      <p>
        The default method of <code xmlns=""><a href="#handle-request">HANDLE-REQUEST</a></code> sets
        up <a href="#logging">standard logging and error handling</a>
        before it calls the acceptor's request dispatcher.
      </p>
      <p>
        Request handlers do their work by modifying
        the <a href="#replies">reply object</a> if necessary and by eventually
        returning the response body in the form of a string or a binary
        sequence.  As an alternative, they can also
        call <code xmlns=""><a href="#send-headers">SEND-HEADERS</a></code> and write directly to a stream.
      </p>
    

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="easy-handlers">Using the easy-handler framework</a></h4>
      <p>
        The <code xmlns=""><a href="#easy-acceptor">EASY-ACCEPTOR</a></code> class defines a method
        for <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-dispatch-request">ACCEPTOR-DISPATCH-REQUEST</a></code> that walks
        through the list <code xmlns=""><a href="#*dispatch-table*">*DISPATCH-TABLE*</a></code> which
        consists of <em>dispatch functions</em>.  Each of these
        functions accepts the request object as its only argument and
        either returns a request handler to handle the request or
        <code>NIL</code> which means that the next dispatcher in the
        list will be tried. A <em>request handler</em> is a function
        of zero arguments which relies on the special variable
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#*request*">*REQUEST*</a></code> to access the request instance
        being serviced. If all dispatch functions return
        <code>NIL</code>, the next
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-dispatch-request">ACCEPTOR-DISPATCH-REQUEST</a></code> will be called.
      </p>
      <p>
        <strong>N.B.</strong> All functions and variables in this

          function <code><i>test-function</i></code>
          where <code><i>key</i></code> (after conversion

      a <code xmlns=""><a href="#reply">REPLY</a></code> object and makes it available
      to <a href="#request-dispatch">handlers</a> via the special variable
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#*reply*">*REPLY*</a></code>.  This object contains all relevant
      information (except for the content body) about the reply that will be
      sent to the client and this section collects the functions which can
      be used to query and modify such an object.  In all function
      where <code xmlns=""><i>reply</i></code> is an optional or keyword parameter,
      the default is <code xmlns=""><a href="#*reply*">*REPLY*</a></code>.

      <p>
        If you need more fine-grained control over the behaviour of reply
        objects, you can subclass <code xmlns=""><a href="#reply">REPLY</a></code> and initialize
        the <a href="#acceptor-reply-class"><code>REPLY-CLASS</code></a>
        slot of the <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor">ACCEPTOR</a></code> class accordingly.  The
        acceptor will generate reply objects of the class named by this
        slot.

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="sessions">Sessions</a></h4>
      Hunchentoot supports <em>sessions</em>: Once a <a href="#request-dispatch">request
      handler</a> has called <code xmlns=""><a href="#start-session">START-SESSION</a></code>, Hunchentoot
      uses either cookies or (if the client doesn't send the cookies
      back) <a href="#*rewrite-for-session-urls*">rewrites URLs</a> to keep
      track of this client, i.e. to provide a kind of 'state' for the
      stateless http protocol. The session associated with the client is a
      <a href="#session">CLOS object</a> which can be used
      to <a href="#session-value">store arbitrary data</a> between requests.
      <p>
        Hunchentoot makes some reasonable effort to prevent eavesdroppers from
        hijacking sessions (see below), but this should not be considered
        really secure. Don't store sensitive data in sessions and rely solely
        on the session mechanism as a safeguard against malicious users who
        want to get at this data!
      </p>
      <p>
        For each request there's one <code xmlns=""><a href="#session">SESSION</a></code> object which is accessible to the
        <a href="#handler">handler</a> via the special
        variable <code xmlns=""><a href="#*session*">*SESSION*</a></code>. This object holds all the
        information available about the session and can be accessed with the
        functions described in this chapter. Note that the internal structure
        of <code xmlns=""><a href="#session">SESSION</a></code> objects should be considered opaque
        and may change in future releases of Hunchentoot.
      </p>
      <p>
        Sessions are automatically <a href="#session-verify">verified</a> for
        validity and age when the <code xmlns=""><a href="#request">REQUEST</a></code> object is
        instantiated, i.e. if <code xmlns=""><a href="#*session*">*SESSION*</a></code> is not NIL then
        this session is valid (as far as Hunchentoot is concerned) and
        not <a href="#session-too-old-p">too old</a>.  Old sessions
        are <a href="#session-gc">automatically removed</a>.
      </p>
      <p>
        Hunchentoot also provides a <code xmlns=""><a href="#session-regenerate-cookie-value">SESSION-REGENERATE-COOKIE-VALUE</a></code>
        function that creates a new cookie value. This helps to prevent against
        <a href="https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Session_fixation">session fixation
        attacks</a>, and should be used when a user logs in according to the application.

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="session-behaviour">Customizing session behaviour</a></h4>

      For everyday session usage, you will probably just
      use <code xmlns=""><a href="#start-session">START-SESSION</a></code>,
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#session-value">SESSION-VALUE</a></code>,
      and maybe <code xmlns=""><a href="#delete-session-value">DELETE-SESSION-VALUE</a></code>
      and <code xmlns=""><a href="#*session*">*SESSION*</a></code>.  However, there are two ways to
      customize the way Hunchentoot maintains sessions.
      <p>
        One way is to mostly leave the session mechanism intact but to tweak
        it a bit:
        <ul>
          <li>The publicly visible part of a session is encoded using a
          <a href="#*session-secret*">secret</a> which you can set yourself.</li>
          <li>And it is stored using a cookie (or GET
          parameter) <a href="#session-cookie-name">name</a> that you can
          override.</li>
          <li>Each session receives a <a href="#next-session-id">new ID</a> when
          it is created and you can implement a more robust way to do that.</li>
          <li>You can arrange to be called whenever a session
          is <a href="#session-created">created</a> to trigger some action.  You
          might also do this to invent your own
          session <a href="#session-gc">garbage collection</a>.</li>
          <li>By default, all sessions are stored in a global alist in memory.
          You can't change the alist part, but you can distribute your sessions
          over different <a href="#session-db">"databases"</a>.</li>
          <li>By default, every operation which modifies sessions or one of the
          session databases is guarded by a global lock, but you can arrange to
          <a href="#session-db-lock">provide</a> different locks for this.</li>
        </ul>
      </p>
      <p>
        The other way to customize Hunchentoot's sessions is to completely
        replace them.  This is actually pretty easy: Create your own class to
        store state (which doesn't have to and probably shouldn't inherit
        from <code xmlns=""><a href="#session">SESSION</a></code>) and implement methods for
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#session-verify">SESSION-VERIFY</a></code>
        and <code xmlns=""><a href="#session-cookie-value">SESSION-COOKIE-VALUE</a></code> - that's it.
        Hunchentoot will continue to use cookies and/or to rewrite URLs to
        keep track of session state and it will store "the current session"
        (whatever that is in your implementation)
        in <code xmlns=""><a href="#*session*">*SESSION*</a></code>.  Everything else (like persisting
        sessions, GC, getting and setting values) you'll have to take care of
        yourself and the other session functions
        (like <code xmlns=""><a href="#start-session">START-SESSION</a></code> or
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#session-value">SESSION-VALUE</a></code>) won't work anymore.  (Almost)
        total freedom, but a lot of responsibility as well... :)

    <h4 xmlns=""><a name="logging">Logging</a></h4>
      Hunchentoot can log accesses and diagnostic messages to two
      separate destinations, which can be either files in the file
      system or streams.  Logging can also be disabled by setting the
      <clix:code xmlns:clix="http://bknr.net/clixdoc">ACCESS-LOG-DESTINATION</clix:code> and
      <clix:code xmlns:clix="http://bknr.net/clixdoc">MESSAGE-LOG-DESTINATION</clix:code> slots in the
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor">ACCEPTOR</a></code> to <code>NIL</code>.  The two
      slots can be initialized by providing the
      :ACCESS-LOG-DESTINATION and :MESSAGE-LOG-DESTINATION
      initialization arguments when creating the acceptor or set by
      setting the slots through its
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-message-log-destination">ACCEPTOR-MESSAGE-LOG-DESTINATION</a></code> and
      <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-access-log-destination">ACCEPTOR-ACCESS-LOG-DESTINATION</a></code> accessors.
      <p>
        When the path for the message or accept log is set to a
        variable holding an output stream, hunchentoots writes
        corresponding log entries to that stream.  By default,
        Hunchentoot logs to *STANDARD-ERROR*.
      </p>
      <p>
        Access logging is done in a format similar to what
        the Apache web server can write so that logfile analysis using
        standard tools is possible.  Errors during request processing are
        logged to a separate file.
      </p>
      <p>
        The standard logging mechanism is deliberately simple and slow.  The
        log files are opened for each log entry and closed again after
        writing, and access to them is protected by a global lock.  Derived
        acceptor classes can implement methods for the
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-log-message">ACCEPTOR-LOG-MESSAGE</a></code> and
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-log-access">ACCEPTOR-LOG-ACCESS</a></code> generic functions in order to
        log differently (e.g. to a central logging server or in a different
        file format.
      </p>
      <p>
        Errors happening within a <a href="#request-dispatch">handler</a>
        which are not caught by the handler itself are handled by
        Hunchentoot by logging them to the established
        <code xmlns=""><a href="#acceptor-message-log-destination">ACCEPTOR-MESSAGE-LOG-DESTINATION</a></code>.

      </p>
      <p>
        When an error occurs while processing a request, Hunchentoot's
        default behavior is to catch the error, log it and
        optionally display it to the client in the HTML response.
        This behavior can be customized through the values of a number
        of special variables, which are documented below.

  <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="testing">Testing</a></h3>
    Hunchentoot comes with a test script which verifies that the
    example web server responds as expected.  This test script uses the
    <a href="http://weitz.de/drakma/">Drakma</a> HTTP client library
    and thus shares a significant amount of its base code with
    Hunchentoot itself.  Still, running the test script is a useful
    confidence test, and it is also possible to run the script across
    machines in order to verify a new Hunchentoot (or, for that matter
    Drakma) port.
    <p>
      To run the confidence test, <a href="#teen-age">start
      the example web server</a>.  Then, in your Lisp
      listener, type
<pre>(<a class="noborder" href="hunchentoot-test:test-hunchentoot">hunchentoot-test:test-hunchentoot</a> "http://localhost:4242")</pre>
You will see some diagnostic output and a summary line that
reports whether any tests have failed.  (You can also use the
example certificate and key files in the test directory and
start and test an https server instead.)

  <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="debugging">Debugging</a></h3>
    By default, Hunchentoot intercepts all errors that occur while
    executing request handlers, logs them to the log file and displays
    a static error page to the user.  While developing applications,
    you may want to change that behavior so that the debugger is
    invoked when an error occurs.  You can set
    the <code xmlns=""><a href="#*catch-errors-p*">*CATCH-ERRORS-P*</a></code> to <code>NIL</code> to
    make that happen.  Alternatively, you may want to have Hunchentoot
    display detailed error information in the error response page.
    You can set the <code xmlns=""><a href="#*show-lisp-errors-p*">*SHOW-LISP-ERRORS-P*</a></code> to a
    true value to make that happen.  If you don't want to see Lisp
    backtraces in these error pages, you can
    set <code xmlns=""><a href="#*show-lisp-backtraces-p*">*SHOW-LISP-BACKTRACES-P*</a></code>
    to <code>NIL</code>.
  

  <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="history">History</a></h3>

    Hunchentoot's predecessor <a href="http://weitz.de/tbnl/">TBNL</a>
    (which is short for "To Be Named Later") grew over the years as a
    toolkit that I used for various commercial and private
    projects. In August 2003, Daniel Barlow started
    a <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.web/148">review of
      web APIs</a> on
    the <a href="http://www.red-bean.com/lispweb/">lispweb</a> mailing
    list and
    I <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.web/153">described</a>
    the API of my hitherto-unreleased bunch of code (and christened it
    "TBNL").
    <p>
      It turned out that
      <a href="http://www.jeffcaldwell.com/">Jeff Caldwell</a> had
      worked on something similar so he emailed me and proposed to
      join our efforts. As I had no immediate plans to release my code
      (which was poorly organized, undocumented, and mostly
      CMUCL-specific), I gave it to Jeff and he worked towards a
      release. He added docstrings, refactored, added some stuff, and
      based it on KMRCL to make it portable across several Lisp
      implementations.
    </p>
    <p>
      Unfortunately, Jeff is at least as busy as I am so he didn't
      find the time to finish a full release.  But in spring 2004 I
      needed a documented version of the code for a client of mine who
      thought it would be good if the toolkit were publicly available
      under an open source license. So I took Jeff's code, refactored
      again (to sync with the changes I had done in the meantime), and
      added documentation.  This resulted in TBNL 0.1.0 (which
      initially required mod_lisp as its front-end).
    </p>
    <p>
      In March 2005, Bob Hutchinson sent patches which enabled TBNL to
      use other front-ends than mod_lisp.  This made me aware that
      TBNL was already <em>almost</em> a full web server, so
      eventually I wrote Hunchentoot which <em>was</em> a full web
      server, implemented as a wrapper around TBNL.  Hunchentoot 0.1.0
      was released at the end of 2005 and was originally
      LispWorks-only.
    </p>
    <p>
      Hunchentoot 0.4.0, released in October 2006, was the first
      release which also worked with other Common Lisp
      implementations.  It is a major rewrite and also incorporates
      most of TBNL and replaces it completely.
    </p>
    <p>
      Hunchentoot 1.0.0, released in February 2009, is again a major
      rewrite and should be considered work in progress.  It moved to
      using
      the <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/">usocket</a>
      and <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux
      Threads</a> libraries for non-LispWorks Lisps, thereby removing most of
      the platform dependent code.  Threading behaviour was made
      controllable through the introduction of
      taskmasters.  <a href="http://www.cliki.net/mod_lisp">mod_lisp</a>
      support and several other things were removed in this release to
      simplify the code base (and partly due to the lack of interest).
      Several architectural changes (lots of them not
      backwards-compatible) were made to ease customization of
      Hunchentoot's behaviour.  A significant part of the 1.0.0
      redesign was done
      by <a href="http://netzhansa.blogspot.com/">Hans Hübner</a>.

  <h3 xmlns=""><a class="none" name="ack">Acknowledgements</a></h3>

    Thanks to Jeff Caldwell - TBNL would not have been released
    without his efforts.  Thanks
    to <a href="http://www.cliki.net/Stefan%20Scholl">Stefan
    Scholl</a> and Travis Cross for various additions and fixes to
    TBNL, to <a href="http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/">Michael
    Weber</a> for initial file upload code, and
    to <a href="http://www.ltn.lv/~jonis/">Janis Dzerins</a> for
    his <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/rfc2388/">RFC 2388
    code</a>. Thanks to Bob Hutchison for his code for multiple
    front-ends (which made me realize that TBNL was already pretty
    close to a "real" web server) and the initial UTF-8 example.
    Thanks to <a href="http://netzhansa.blogspot.com/">Hans Hübner</a>
    for a lot of architectural and implementation enhancements for the
    1.0.0 release and also for transferring the documentation to sane
    XHTML.  Thanks to John
    Foderaro's <a href="http://opensource.franz.com/aserve/index.html">AllegroServe</a>
    for inspiration.  Thanks to <a href="http://www.htg1.de/">Uwe von
    Loh</a> for
    the <a href="http://www.htg1.de/hunchentoot/hunchentoot.html">Hunchentoot
    logo</a>.

    <p>
      Hunchentoot originally used code
      from <a href="http://www.cliki.net/ACL-COMPAT">ACL-COMPAT</a>,
      specifically the chunking code from Jochen Schmidt.  (This has been
      replaced by <a href="http://weitz.de/chunga/">Chunga</a>.)  When I ported
      Hunchentoot to other Lisps than LispWorks, I stole code from
      ACL-COMPAT, <a href="http://www.cliki.net/kmrcl">KMRCL</a>,
      and <a href="http://www.cliki.net/trivial-sockets">trivial-sockets</a> for
      implementation-dependent stuff like sockets and MP.  (This has been replaced by
      <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux
      Threads</a>
      and <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/usocket/">usocket</a>.)
    </p>
    <p>
      Parts of this documentation were prepared
      with <a href="http://weitz.de/documentation-template/">DOCUMENTATION-TEMPLATE</a>,
      no animals were harmed.
