[plt-scheme] servlet2.ss, servlet.ss, etc.

I'm not sure about the paper, but the basic thing that those modules
do is run the web-server embedded in DrScheme. You can still do that
with the following code:

One thing you can do to run the web-server from within DrScheme is to
use the (lib "servlet-env.ss" "web-server" "tools") library. Here's an
example:

(module servlet-env-test mzscheme
 (require (lib "servlet-env.ss" "web-server" "tools"))

 ; request-number : str -> num
 (define (request-number which-number)
  (string->number
   (extract-binding/single
    'number
    (request-bindings (send/suspend (build-request-page which-number))))))

 ; build-request-page : str -> str -> response
 (define (build-request-page which-number)
  (lambda (k-url)
    `(html (head (title "Enter a Number to Add"))
           (body ([bgcolor "white"])
                 (form ([action ,k-url] [method "post"])
                       "Enter the " ,which-number " number to add: "
                       (input ([type "text"] [name "number"] [value ""]))
                       (input ([type "submit"] [name "enter"] [value
"Enter"])))))))
 #;(on-web
 `(html (head (title "Sum"))
        (body ([bgcolor "white"])
              (p "The sum is "
                 ,(number->string (+ (request-number "first")
(request-number "second")))))))

 (on-web (+ (request-number "first") (request-number "second"))))

When you use the `on-web' function, a temporary server is run from
DrScheme on port 8080 and a browser window is opened to a temporary
servlet. This should help you test servlets from DrS.
