Thanks for the answer. I prefer to use the standard plt-web-server executable, because I'm working in a small internal project for a few hundreds users. I solved my problem using a refresh in the index.html file to redirect the users to the real page. It isn't very elegant, but it works.
This message is more like a feature request for the plt-web-server: If I put a ".rkt" file, I expect to see the "result" from the execution of the servlet in the browser, not the source code. If I add "index.rkt" to the default-indices, I'm surprised, because I see the source code. Is it sensible to change the default behavior of the plt-web-server in this case? Gustavo (If I add "index.gif" to the default-indices, the "index.gif" file is served as an image/gif file as expected. I don't know why someone would want to do that, but it works.)
