Common Lisp Hypermedia Server (CL-HTTP)

1. Getting Started

Quick TCP/IP Start: Load the file mac-start-server.lisp into MCL 3.0.
This will compile the server and launch it running the demo Web
structure.  This assumes you're running MacTCP over TCP/IP.

Once you get the Common Lisp Hypermedia Server running, it will serve
its own documentation when you access the URL
http://your.host.domain/cl-http/cl-http.html

Configuring the server is explained in detail by
http://your.host.domain/cl-http/configure.html.

You can use the local file option of your Web browser to read the
configuration instructions before starting the server. This file is
found in the subdirectory of the cl-http distribution:

        /mac-cl-http-n-n/www/cl-http/configure.html

If you have questions, you may direct them to the developer group at
www-cl@ai.mit.edu. You can join this group by sending a message to
www-cl-request@ai.mit.edu containing "subscribe www-cl" in the message
body.

Current versions of the server may be obtained via FTP from:

ftp://ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/users/jcma/cl-http/

Netscape 1.1 304 Loop: Netscape 1.1 can get into a loop attempting to
refresh its cache with any server and this includes CL-HTTP. A work
around is to clear the cache using from the preferences dialog, quit
Netscape and restart. This works in most cases but not all. In other
cases, make sure that your time and time zone are correctly configured,
and if all else fails, set the caching to never check documents.
