(export-url #U"/quest?"
            :search
            :response-function #'create-response
            :expiration '(:interval 1.)
            :documentation "Response to a GET")

(defmethod create-response (url &optional (stream *so*))
   (let* ((*output-stream* stream)
          (url-keys (url:search-keys url))
          (first-option (first url-keys)))
     (declare (special *output-stream*))
     (write-response-html first-option)))
