looking for web-server information

["Steve Strassmann" <Steve@OrangeImagineering.com>]

Hi, I'm trying to find some documentation about the web-server in PLT,

but haven't been able to find much.

 

I hoped there would be something at http://download.plt-scheme.org/doc/ -

perhaps in the libraries manual, but no dice. I've read collects/web-server/doc.txt

and also dug up the paper at http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/Publications/#esop2001-gkvf

("Programming the Web with High-Level Programming Languages").

Could you please cite this paper and any other helpful documentation in

the doc.txt?

 

I'm using PLT 200alpha12. I'm pretty new to plt-scheme and I have

a bunch of questions. Is there anything like meta-point (find definition)

in DrScheme? Is there any other documentation for the PLT web server?

How are web-server URLs decoded? What are all the magic directories?

 

I can't seem to find any log file anywhere, so debugging my servlets is

very difficult. Where is it supposed to be created? I found (log-file-path ".web-log")

in configuration-table, but I can't seem to find any file with a name like that

anywhere in my web-server directory.

 

The example servlets are working ok for me. But I've tried running the example

servlets in DrScheme with the web-server teachpack loaded, but they don't

seem to work there at all. I'm still a bit confused - why does it return

SHARED and -6- in the following?

 

(shared ((-6- "Hello, Web!"))...

 

thanks
