CL-HTTP is a full-featured server for the Internet Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP 1.1, HTML 2.0, HTML 3.2 & pre-HTML 4.0) that comes complete with source code. The server has been proven in major production systems and is a component of some interesting applications.
Web servers like CL-HTTP are ideal for building Semantic Web applications. One such application is, RacerPro, which is an OWL reasoner and inference server for the Semantic Web.
For an overview of the design ideas embodied in the CL-HTTP server see the paper by John C. Mallery. A description of Langtech’s extensions will appear shortly.
