1. Has anyone attempted to port CL-Http to Corman Lisp, and if so, how
close to completion is the port?
2. Is there any documentation of what generally turns out to be
platform-specific?
3. Do people just take the platform-specific code for one platform and
move it to the new platform, or is there a list somewhere of the things
missing from the portable part of the implementation that must be
implemented on every platform?

Hello,
As a first suggestion, I think there is allergroserve port by Chris D. for
Corman, might be way easier to use this.
Regarding cl-http
If you look at the load-files for the different platforms it is pretty easy
to see what is platform-dependent and what is not.
in the ACL port it is mainly the file unix.lisp
Regarding porting the platform dependent part, I recommend the following:
- Ignore the defsystem stuff, do simple loads
- Don't use the clim-sys package
- Start by getting work with String-Streams emulating the sockets so you can
see whether the basic stuff is working
- Then try a simple-threading tcp-server without resources
- Then try a multi-threading server
- At last, try take a look at the MAC-port and try to port the real thing

Are you referring to the CL-HTTP defsystem or MK:DEFSYSTEM? In the
last case maybe something can be done about it.
