I found this https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/remote-shell

> 7. gopher library (or just libcurl)

Is someone still using gopher? It's weird that there is no libcurl wrapper. I expected to find one. (I used the http libraries that are included in the main distribution, but some people may prefer to use libcurl instead.)

Yes, and the webserver has two kind of continuations. In one type the info is stored inside the memory of the racket webserver. In the other type the info is stored in the URL or something, but you must use a subset of Racket to be encoding friendly.

I use the webserver, but I just ignored both of them. Each webpage is a different rkt file. So fancy servlets, no continuations. All the info is stored in cookies or the hard disk.
