The standard executable is effectively deprecated. It will not support new server features and it has not been getting new features for some time. I consider the Web server to be a simple library for building the server you need where a program is the effective configuration file. > > 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.

I don't think this makes sense. If you go to a URL that matches the servlet root (from the config file), then a servlet is executed. If you go to a URL that matches the file root, then the file is served. If the servlets are inside of the file directory (not the default and probably a bad idea), then servlets can be viewed as source if their execution is some how missed.
