Well, ideally there would be some new module-name->source function that could return URIs like http://path/to/file.rkt (or for that matter, file:///path/to/file.rkt), based on info.rkt for packages?
Given that piece, a couple ways to do it -- favoring doing it more in Emacs vs. more in Racket -- but both involve having a local cache, and also using If-Modified-Since request headers? Maybe even the ability to "prefill the cache and never expire it" ... which seems awfully like source installation by other means? p.s. An approach favoring doing it more on the Racket side than on the Emacs side, could also support FRs like one I saw on the main list recently, which is that File | Open in DrRacket should be able to open remote files. That was for a classroom setting IIRC. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
