You should get rid of the extra spaces. It's ugly and non-standard.

How do you mean that, "added as a list?"

I suppose you mean http://linuxbox/tbnl/test/myhandler.html.

I cannot reproduce your results. If I add your MY-HANDLER function to
the TBNL tests then it acts as expected, i.e. I see the page after
about two seconds. Can anyone else see this problem?

Which Lisp are you using? Do you see anything relevant in the Apache
log files?

Cheers,
Edi.
