in reply to web-app design question

You could point your result URLs at a directory with a 404 handler, and fill in the pages as needed, and flush the directory when the database changes. I illustrate that technique in a column of mine.

404 handler that writes static html.

    Thanks. I'm designing my build_html script to be a bunch of functions, so I can choose to update just small subsets of the static html files, rather than all or nothing. Adding in a 404 handler seems like a fun project (and a way to learn handlers), so maybe I'll put that into the version 2.0.
