Thanks, Roberto. I will look at that.
However, my question may have been unclear. My main - or at least
initial - objective is not to develop a uWSGI plugin for Racket, but a
Racket library that handles communication with the HTTP server using
the uwsgi protocol. Perhaps I misunderstand how uWSGI works, but I
think those are, or can be, two different things.
In other words, my API would provide a function like:
# pseudocode
define run-uwsgi-server port request-handler *args:
get input
parse input
call request-handler with parsed input
return response
loop
... so for a simple application, the user would only need to code the
request handler. I believe this is a pretty common pattern, and I
suppose there's a name for such a library, but I'm not sure what the
name is.
Of course, in order to do this I need to know the forms in which
requests and responses are transmitted by uWSGI.
Maybe your tutorial will answer that question? If not, I will still
hope for some clarification on this list.
