5.7 Procedure Invocation upon Request

(require web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-pathprocedure)

The web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-pathprocedure module defines a dispatcher constructor for invoking a particular procedure when a request is given to a particular URL path.

(make path proc) → dispatcher?

path : string?

proc : (request? . -> . response?)

Checks if the request URL path as a string is equal to path and if so, calls proc for a response.

This is used in the standard Web Server pipeline to provide a URL that refreshes the password file, servlet cache, etc.
