Yeah, but I use ACL for AllegroCache goodness too, so can't switch my
lisp that easily. As a second thought - isn't Lisp beautiful? Noone
tests on ACL but for the most part Hunchentoot works just fine on it
despite large code base and all the dependencies :)

I've been a long-time user of Allegroserve, but still find Hunchentoot
code clearer and more compelling.

I sure will do that. There is another issue w/ handle-static-file that
I've found today. Will tackle it as well.

Thanks Hans!, /S
