portableaserve
A portable Common Lisp web server providing AllegroServe functionality across multiple Lisp implementations.
Overview
Portable AllegroServe is an open-source web server that brings the capabilities of Franz Inc.'s AllegroServe to Common Lisp implementations beyond AllegroCL. It includes a compatibility layer that emulates Allegro Common Lisp's sockets, multiprocessing, and extended packages, making it valuable even without the web server component. The project enables Lisp developers to access AllegroServe's features while using alternative Lisp environments.
Key Features
- AllegroServe Compatibility — Replicates the functionality of Franz's AllegroServe web server for portable use.
- Cross-Lisp Support — Works with multiple Common Lisp implementations via an ACL compatibility layer.
- ACL Compatibility Library — Provides partial implementations of AllegroCL's sockets, multiprocessing, and extended packages.
- Example Server — Includes demonstration code to start a server showcasing AllegroServe capabilities.
Philosophy
Portable AllegroServe aims to democratize access to AllegroServe's web server features by decoupling them from AllegroCL, though it acknowledges that full functionality requires community effort due to incomplete test coverage and known limitations.
