Hmm, is it possible that this is documented somewhere?
This could be interesting for CL-HTTP on ACL users.
It would be highly cool, if you could run your web server
and if necessary connect to it and debug/maintain
the software. If somebody has a solution for this we gladly
would describe it in the CL-HTTP docs.

Since most CL-HTTP will use some special software running
directly on the server, it would be very useful to
have access to the server's internals while it is running.
Those changes happen to appear quite often in my software.
Sigh.

That would be useful, too. Sounds like a BBTech product. ;-)

Thanks for the response,
