Hi Andy,

As you probably know, there are already a couple of guile webservers.
Last time I checked TTN's sizzweb was probably the best maintained.

If you're avoiding that for license reasons, I'd suggest wrapping 
up GNU libmicrohttpd.

Writing yet another webserver for fun is one thing, but, writing yet
another webserver for inclusion in Guile is the path of madness, because
you'd be implying that it is, in some sense, validated.  A webserver
is oh so deceptively simple...  But looking at the http11 parser
in Mongrel2, for example, shows how it is harder than it looks.

BTW, I haven't tried it yet, but, a Guile / Mongrel2 could make for
a great platform, with not too much glue code.

But, just my 2 cents.

Regard,

Mike Gran
