The Scheme Untergrund Networking Package (SUnet, for short) is a collection of applications and libraries for Internet hacking in Scheme. It runs under Scsh, the Scheme shell. SUnet includes the following components:
- The SUnet Web server
- This is a highly configurable HTTP 1.0 server in Scheme. The server is accompanied by some libraries which may also be used separately:
URI and URL parsers and unparsers
a library for writing CGI scripts in Scheme
server extensions for interfacing to CGI scripts
server extensions for uploading Scheme code
simple structured HTML output library
- The server also ships with a sophisticated interface for writing server-side Web applications called "SUrflets".
- The SUnet ftp server
- This is a complete anonymous ftp server in Scheme.
- ftp client library
- This library allows you to access ftp servers programmatically.
- netrc library
- This library parses authentication information contained in ~/.netrc.
- SMTP client library
- This library allows you to forge mail from the comfort of your own Scheme process.
- POP3 client library
- This library allows you to access your POP3 mailbox from inside scsh.
- RFC822 header library
- This library parses email-style headers.
- Daytime and Time protocol client libraries
- These libraries lets you find out what time it is without paying for a Rolex.
- DNS client library

The SUnet mailing lists have been moved from SourceForge to scsh.net.Please send mail to sunet-commit-request@scsh.net to subscribe to the mailling list for commit mails and to sunet-devel-request@scsh.net to join the developer's mailing list. Both lists are archived at this server.
