Hi Everybody!<br><br>First, I'm sorry for the shameless self-advertisement in this mail, but I though this may interest you.<br><br>As you may have noticed, I used and looked into hunchentoot quite a bit in the past few weeks.<br>
My goal was to end up with a reliable, efficient and easy-to-manage HTTP redirection server.<br><br>After a few weeks to ensure the stability of the code, I am glad to present to you cl-cheshire-cat, available on github: <a href="https://github.com/mentel/cl-cheshire-cat">https://github.com/mentel/cl-cheshire-cat</a> and soon, I hope, via quicklisp too.<br>
<br>In Web hosting/development industry, one often ends up with legacy or alternate domain-names onw wants to be redirected to a newer or canonical domain-name. These redirection rules can be as simple as "add "www." to the domain-name" or complex enough to require regex based path rewrite and query-string manipulation.<br>
<br>Cheshire cat intends to provide an easy-to-use, lightweight and reliable solution to this problem in order to get rid of boiler plate config files for httpd or nginx in order to put together a few redirections. I must add that the software in its current release is currently in use on our production servers supporting a load of about 50k queries a day on a single server.<br>
<br>If you see fit, I'd deeply appreciate a mention in the list of projects using Hunchentoot.<br><br>Moreover, if you have any question, comment or suggestion, I'd be happy to read and answer them. This is my first sizable open-source project, so there are probably plenty of enhancements to be done.<br>
<br>Thanks for your time and for your work on hunchentoot and its various dependencies without which this project could never be thought of.<br>Mathieu Lemoine.<br>
