• to continue my exploration of rust
• to explore the Rocket web-framework
• to explore coding async-first
• to explore rust/async testing

• parses the bib out of the incoming url
• validates the bib
• runs an alma-api lookup to get the alma mms_id
• builds a primo redirect url
• redirects the user to that url

This all works now. (yay!)

• Our actual implementation-solution will likely be in php or python.

• √ see if there's an easy way to implement a route with the same pattern, but bib_tester/info -- that'd get picked up before the bib-num pattern. A lightweight endpoint like this would allow experimenting with ab load-testing.

• convert print-statements to logging.

• look into returning a templated response.

• switch any simple unwrap() calls to unwrap_or_else() for my own edification -- to better understand the kinds of error-conditions that can exist.

• explore caching.

• explore saving api lookups into an sqlite db.

• look into how I might embed the curret git-commit-version into the compilation process, for my usual webapp version url-response.
