OK, I had suspected that.  Thank you for the information.

I searched, but did not succeed in making it run.  However, methinks that I
may be better off anyhow using mod_proxy instead of mod_lisp.  In any case,
I was able to get Apache2/mod_proxy/Hunchentoot running nicely using the
httpd.conf-lines

ProxyPass /hunchentoot/ http://127.0.0.1:8005/
ProxyPassReverse /hunchentoot/ http://127.0.0.1:8005/

However, again two questions arise:

1. Omitting the trailing / makes the whole thing fail (which is in
contradiction to the Hunchentoot docs).  Why?

2. Is it possible to change the above setup such that it forwards secure
connections?

Thank you very much,
Nicolas
