I had planned on doing a quick web-related project, to get started with Hunchentoot, since it seems to be the lisp- based web server of preference. Unfortunately, I seem to be made from fail. I can get it to listen to a port, but I cannot, however much I try, make it send anything back.

The docs indicate taht if I start the server and then point a browser at it, I should get a short info page back. Unfortunately, all I get is "nothing". I've even whipped out a Wireshark to confirm. Ah, well, maybe it'll be obvious, at some point.

Of course, trouble-shooting this is a bit more difficult than it could be, since it's a threaded server and it's harder than "trivial" to get tracing and the like to work.

As and when I get a bit more round tuits, I'll probably go check the hunchentoot mailing list archive, I doubt I'm the first person to run into this.

Hmm, looking at this again, the server replies and immediately closes the connection.
