[hunchentoot-devel] Publishing stream data?

[Cyrus Harmon]

On a related note, in the absence of a hucnhentoot-contrib, I'll take  
a moment to plug some of my own hunchentoot-using packages.

Two are general purpose libraries that could, in theory, be used by  
any hunchentoot application, hunchentoot-vhost for using a single  
hunchentoot server to serve multiple "hosts", and hunchentoot-auth  
for managing users.  The other package is nuclblog, which is a  
relatively simple blog that runs on top of hunchentoot. They can be  
found at:

Comments/suggestions/patches-to-implement-all-the-neat-features-I- 
never-got-around-to-implementing gladly accepted.

In particular, I'd be curious as to how others handle user  
authentication and what not. It starts off trivial, but, at least  
from my experience, got to be a bit more complicated than I would  
have thought at the beginning. Things like redirecting non-authorized  
users, html pages for logging in vs. browser authentication, password  
salts, persistent storage for users, an interface for adding new  
users, etc... all make this a harder problem than one might think at  
first glance. Perhaps it's just "trivial" and everyone should roll  
their own solution here, but, comments on the hunchentoot-auth  
approach would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Cyrus
