[tbnl-devel] TBNL/SBCL 0.9.16 problems

[Xristos Kalkanis]

I encountered the following problems with
latest TBNL (0.10.1) under sbcl 0.9.16:

; file: /Users/xristos/.sbcl/site/tbnl-0.10.1/easy-handlers.lisp
; in: DEFUN COMPUTE-ARRAY-PARAMETER
;     (CL-PPCRE:REGISTER-GROUPS-BIND
;       (TBNL::NAME TBNL::INDEX-STRING)
;         ("^(.*)\\[(\\d+)\\]$" TBNL::FULL-NAME)
;         (WHEN
;            (STRING= TBNL::NAME TBNL::PARAMETER-NAME)
;            (PARSE-INTEGER TBNL::INDEX-STRING)))
; --> LET MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND MULTIPLE-VALUE-CALL FUNCTION WHEN COND IF
; --> PROGN LET* LET IF
; ==>
;   NIL
;
; caught WARNING:
;   This is not a STRING:
;     NIL

This stops compilation and throws me in the debugger where the only
option i have in order to continue compilation is to accept the  
operation
as completed. Result: easy-handler test example does not work properly
(blank page). This happens under both linux and osx.

decoding error on stream
#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for
"file /Users/xristos/.sbcl/site/tbnl-0.10.1/test/test.lisp" {13F903C9}>
(:EXTERNAL-FORMAT :UTF-8):
   the octet sequence (233 34 10) cannot be decoded.
    [Condition of type SB-INT:STREAM-DECODING-ERROR]

This happens only on osx. #lisp regulars informed me that default locale
on osx is utf-8 and since test.lisp contains invalid character according
to utf-8, it cant be read properly. Compiles ok on linux with posix  
locale.

TBNL/Kmrcl still hangs approx 50% of the time when serving requests
(both linux & osx). The solution is to use (close socket) instead of
(sb-bsd-sockets:socket-close socket) in function
close-active-socket in latest kmrcl (sockets.lisp line 118). I'd really
like to see this fixed.

File uploads using the upload example do not work under osx.
This is most probably related to utf-8 issues as certain text
files are uploaded correctly whilst binaries are not.

Uploads work ok under linux.
