...and it's presumably not request-structs.ss that I should be  
including, but just servlet.ss.  Righto -- that makes pleny of sense.

Use the docs, Luke.




I'll include the version which finally worked for me here, for the  
archive.  I wonder if this might this be a useful non-trivial example  
of a module-based servlet, for the documentation or distribution.


(module echoing-servlet mzscheme
    (provide interface-version timeout start)

    (require (lib "servlet.ss" "web-server")
             (lib "url.ss" "net"))

    (define interface-version 'v1)

    (define timeout 10)

    ; start : request -> response
    (define (start rq)
      (report-errors-to-browser send/finish)
      `(html
        (head (title "Echo servlet"))
        (body
         (h1 "Echo servlet")
         (table
          (tr (td "Current directory")
              (td ,(format "~s" (current-directory))))
          (tr (td "method")
              (td ,(symbol->string (request-method rq))))
          (tr (td "headers")
              (td (table ((border "1"))
                   ,@(map (lambda (p)
                           `(tr (td ,(symbol->string (car p)))
                                (td ,(cdr p))))
                          (request-headers rq)))))

          ;; "net" package url structure documented at
          ;; http://pre.plt-scheme.org/plt/collects/net/doc.txt
          (tr (td "uri")
              (td ,(format "~s"
                           (map (lambda (pp)
                                  (cons (path/param-path pp)
                                        (path/param-param pp)))
                                (url-path (request-uri rq))))))
          ))))
)

Ditto, in spades.

All the best,

Norman
