Introduction
CL-HTTP is a powerful and comprehensive Web server, and a set of associated tools, allowing you to build dynamic interactive Web sites in Common Lisp.
Although CL-HTTP includes excellent examples, and comprehensive documentation, its wide range of features and options can be daunting to the first-time user wanting to understand how to use CL-HTTP in simple Web-based applications.
The aim of this primer is therefore to give minimal examples, to illustrate what is needed to write a number of typical applications.
These will help you to understand the basic principles of CL-HTTP's operation, and can serve as templates for creating real Web applications in Lisp.
