Re: [racket-dev] replacement for #:namespace arg in dispatch/servlet
I'm not sure how much this helps, but you can at least postpone the problem by using this config file (a modified version of the one in the handin server quick start docs): ((active-dirs (test)) (use-https #f)) This way, the web server won't be started. I think students should still be able to hand things in, but they won't be able to check on the status of things.

Re: [racket-dev] replacement for #:namespace arg in dispatch/servlet
The option was removed because it didn't do anything. #:namespace in other places in the Web Server is used to allow dynamically loaded code to share module instantiations with the Web Server (and therefore with each other.) dispatch/servlet does not dynamic load any code. It runs a servlet that is passed as a closure argument. That closure has whatever namespace the author of the servlet wants it to and it would be misleading to have this argument that really only effects dynamic loading of code within the servlet itself. The handin server should just work if you delete the argument, because as I said, it isn't doing anything.

Re: [racket-dev] replacement for #:namespace arg in dispatch/servlet
Thanks Jay. I've removed the use of the argument and verified that the handin-server still seems to work. I'll push the change when I get to school.
