[tbnl-devel] leaked file handles when not (plusp content-length)

[Tim Daly Jr.]

I would like to report a bug, which I encountered in TBNL 0.8.2.  I've
been meaning to work up a patch, but I haven't had the time yet.  I
don't even have the time to check if the bug is present in 0.8.8.  :/
So, please forgive me for merely reporting what I saw, for now.

I'm using SBCL 0.9.6, but I suspect that the bug isn't a grotty
implementation-specific issue.  

Basically, when you return the empty string as a response, after about
250 responses, you run out of file handles and everything stops working.
To get around it, you can return a string with something in it, or you
can do something wonderful like this, around line 123 in modlisp.lisp:

        (when (or t (plusp content-length)) ;xxx timjr

Cheers,
Tim
