It's good to see that GNU Guile is going strong! Since we're sharing hacks, here are a few from my project: - An LDAP authenticator using the FFI and openldap: https://github.com/UMCUGenetics/sparqling-genomics/blob/master/web/ldap/authenticate.scm.in We use it on a site-local deployment. - HTTP digest authentication: https://github.com/UMCUGenetics/sparqling-genomics/blob/master/web/sparql/driver.scm#L82-L157 This has been tested against Virtuoso endpoints. - Multi-format HTTP requests/responses for building RESTful interfaces: https://github.com/UMCUGenetics/sparqling-genomics/blob/master/web/www/db/api.scm It's not perfect, and probably needs some work to be generic enough to suite other use-cases than the one I wrote it for. Kind regards, Roel Janssen
