[racket] my 2 cents on Web application tutorial being too advanced

I agree with you on the URL part. When I saw URL like:


http://localhost:50937/servlets/standalone.rkt;((%22k%22%20.%20%22(1%201%205404687)%22))

I thought I probably won't write web application like this. Because I think
URL is part of the content, and it should be meaningful.
