Hello Guile Users! I finally managed to create an example for using Guile's web server and serving static files. A rather silly bug kept me for a few days from making progress, but finally today I fixed it.
I tried to implement some security checks about the path of the requested static assets. If anyone wants to look at it and point out issues with it, I will try to fix it, or you could make a pull request. If there are any other issues, it would also be great to know them : ) Here is the code in my repository: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-examples/src/65ba7cead2983f1ceb8aa2d4eedfe37734e5ca56/web-development/example-03-serve-static-assets I tried to comment most stuff, so that the code can be understood more easily. And here is a pointer to the path security stuff: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-examples/src/65ba7cead2983f1ceb8aa2d4eedfe37734e5ca56/web-development/example-03-serve-static-assets/web-path-handling.scm#L50 (Perhaps I overlooked something fundamental with regard to safe path handling?) So I guess I can soon start developing another example, perhaps already a blog, which makes use of all the code : ) I have not yet made use of Guile's sendfile procedure and keyboard interrupt is not yet caught.
