Hi Kashyap
Try out web.l: https://bitbucket.org/iromero91/web.l/wiki/Home
(also linked at the bottom at https://picolisp.com/wiki/?Documentation)
It's relatively straight-forward, good to start, for simple use cases.
URL's are matched using (match) (see picolisp reference).
The standard GUI framework (form.l) can also be used as a pure API.
If your project requires long-running sessions, it is probably the best
candidate short of a custom http implementation.
For simple use cases, the web.l framework should suffice.
-- Nevertheless I warmly recommend you to learn HTTP eventually - it's
the foundation for so much.
---> Check out this excellent tutorial: https://jmarshall.com/easy/http/
Don't be afraid, HTTP is really a simple, clear-text protocol (and HTTPS
is still clear-text HTTP, just using a encrypted TCP-Connection instead
of a plain TCP-connection).
It's no arcane magic - much easier than HTML!
Knowing how it works, and being able to even issue a simple GET by hand
using telnet, proved again and again useful for me.
For example, checking a server with manual HTTP via telnet or 'openssl
s_client': easy way to check if a problem is with the network or
actually with a slow/non-responding HTTP server.
(With this "trick" I surprised seasoned network experts at multiple
occasions. :-/ )
Best regards,

Hi,
What's a good way to bring up an API server in PicoLisp?
The example give here -
https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Hello_world/Web_server#PicoLisp does not
seem to provide an opportunity to handle GET/POST parameters. And I do
not want to use the GUI framework.
The example here is too low level
https://picolisp.com/wiki/?AndroidWebServer - I'll have to build HTTP.
The goal is to write a server that I can drive with curl on the
command line.
Regards,
Kashyap
