Hi,
  If you decide to go with building your own simple http server, I
will recommend you to look at mongrels parser. It's written in ragel
but it's really trivial to use/import in Lisp (I did it for SBCL FFI,
and it was damn easy, around 60 lisp lines or so) and it's pretty fast
and secure. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
