It's close to there now. The CodeServer serves up methods/classes/comments, etc:

process: request
	"Return the source code from Smalltalk, as text or as a chunk.
URLs are of this form.  Each may have 'chunk' or 'smtlk' as the thing after the slash
	machine:80/smtlk.Point|min;
	machine:80/chunk.{Class}|{selector}		
	machine:80/smtlk.{Class}|{selector}
	machine:80/smtlk.{Class}|class|{selector}
	machine:80/smtlk.{Class}|Definition
	machine:80/smtlk.{Class}|Hierarchy
	machine:80/smtlk.{Class}|Comment
NOTE: use ; semicolon instead of : colon in selector names!!!"

wouldn't be hard to extent this to arbitrary code.

Cheers,
