This is basically how it works. The /index.html from S3 reads the /pkgs-all.json which is a JSON dump of the entire database and then renders it. If you do any "active" stuff, then you send requests to the dynamic server. /pkgs-all.json isn't the only available file though. -- Jay McCarthy <j...@cs.byu.edu> Assistant Professor / Brigham Young University http://faculty.cs.byu.edu/~jay "The glory of God is Intelligence" - D&C 93 _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
