Thanks, good to know.

Using the source code for web-server/servlet-env.ss as inspiration, I've
come up with:

;; ----------------------------
(require web-server/servlet-dispatch
           (prefix-in timeout: web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-timeout)
           (prefix-in seq: web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-sequencer))

(serve/launch/wait
 (lambda (sema)
   (seq:make (timeout:make 6000)
             (dispatch/servlet foo-servlet #:regexp #rx"")))
 #:port 8002)
;; ----------------------------

and now I don't get blank screens anymore.

I'm impressed at how easy it was to make my own dispatcher. Cool stuff.

Thanks Jay!
