Yes, of course Nick, but then you better use the prefixes:
((ZnServer defaultOn: 1337)
delegate: (ZnDispatcherDelegate new
map: '/hello' to: [ :request :response | response entity:
(ZnEntity text: 'Hello World!') ])) start
((ZnServer defaultOn: 1337)
delegate: (ZnDispatcherDelegate new
map: '/echo' to: [ :request :response | response entity:
(ZnEntity with: request contents) ])) start
Writing the shortest possible server code is a dubioius challenge. Although few
Smalltalker would be happy to use verbose and heavy Java and XML. It is
important that simple things be easy, short and elegant and complex things be
possible.
