Don't know if it would be an instructive example, but the Pollen project server [1], though not intended for production use, is a self-contained HTTP server that handles dynamic generation of HTML (it even works with Scribble files), which sounds similar to what you're trying to do.
Jesse Alama's book Server: Racket [2] is an excellent resource. Among many other things, I learned that you can invent arbitrary HTTP methods beyond GET and POST, thereby avoiding encoding conventions like "?action=edit". Instead, you can just have an HTTP method called EDIT. It's possible to use the Racket web server "behind" Apache, so that Apache handles the static file serving, and Racket handles computation.
