[hunchentoot-devel] Ways to work with case sensitive lisps...

I was just trying to work with Hunchentoot and Allegro MoDeRn lisp and  
it's not fun. Sensibly enough, both Chunga and Hunchentoot convert  
headers and such coming from the web into assoc lists with keywords as  
keys. However, the keywords are created by upcasing the strings and  
interning them and in MoDeRn lisp, :HOST does not eq :host and this  
leaves much of the hander code confused.

I'm considering either altering make-keyword or switching the test to  
be case insensitive but I'm concerned that I may miss places that  
matter. Is anyone bumping into this?

regards,
