I don't see why you'd want to use such a gross interface as
printf(). :P<br>
<br>
As has already been pointed out, you can compile with the flag
'-protocol static' to get an executable that expects to be called on
the command line with a URL as an argument; then it prints the HTTP
response.<br>
<br>
We'd need to hear more about your use case to give better advice.
Be forewarned that Ur/Web really is a domain-specific language for
web applications, and it is not going to be pleasant to use to build
other kinds of programs.<br>

Instead, you can create an executable containing built-in

After running your application (by calling it from the

you will be able to access the page with 'curl'.<br>
