[hunchentoot-devel] Hunchentoot Thread Safety

[Mostafa Razavi]

Hi. I've been thinking about Hunchentoot's thread safety, lately. I see 
that for each request Hunchentoot spawns a new thread (if possible, of 
course) and binds the special variable *request* for it. Initially I 
thought this could cause problems, but when I did a few tests I found 
out everything actually seems to work correctly.

Now, I'm not complaining why things are not going wrong, only I'm 
curious how is it that using a dynamic variable, which is one of those 
dreaded global variables after all, does not cause problems here.

You might point out I can find it out all by myself by reading the 
source code, but unfortunately I couldn't. Maybe I'm missing something. 
Can anyone here, please, point me to the answer? Thanks.
