;;; Path handlers
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; Path handlers are the guys that actually perform the requested operation
;;; on the URL. The handler interface is 
;;;     (handler path-list request)
;;; The path-list is a URL path list that is a suffix of REQUEST's url's
;;; path-list. Path handlers can decide how to handle an operation by
;;; recursively keying off of the elements in path-list. 
;;; 
;;; The object-oriented view:
;;; One way to look at this is to think of the request's METHOD as a
;;; generic operation on the URL. Recursive request handlers do method 
;;; lookup to determine how to implement a given operation on a particular
;;; path.
;;;
;;; The REQUEST is a request record, as defined in request.scm, containing
;;; the details of the client request.

;; general request handler combinator:
;; predicate: path x request --> boolean
;; if #t, handler is called
;; if #f, default-handler is called
(define (make-predicate-handler predicate handler default-handler)
  (lambda (path req)
    (if (predicate path req)

;; called with the path:
;; predicate: path --> boolean
(define (make-path-predicate-handler predicate handler default-handler)
  (make-predicate-handler
   (lambda (path req) (predicate path)) handler default-handler))

;; selects handler according to host-field of http-request

		 (string-prefix-ci? (string-append hostname ":") val)))

;;; This function creates a table-driven request handler that dispatches off
;;; of the car of the request path. The handler uses the car to index into
;;; a request handler alist. If it finds a hit, it recurses using the table's
;;; request handler. If no hits, it handles the path with a default handler.
;;; An alist handler is passed the tail of the original path; the
;;; default handler gets the entire original path.
;;;
;;; This procedure is how you say: "If the first element of the URL's
;;; path is 'foo', do X; if it's 'bar', do Y; otherwise, do Z."
