For illustration, would you mind explaining how to connect this code to a web server.

You don't have to connect it. Copy the above into a file called 'fortune.arc' inside your Arc source code directory, then type the following from an Arc REPL:

  (load "fortune.arc")
  (asv)
The 'asv' function spawns the built-in web server, as shown in the blog example.

Sometimes the program fails with the error below, on clicking on the link. A blank webpage is shown. After F5 (refresh), all back to normal.

Looks to me, that the system call fails because 'fortune' returns -1.

  date: 1202019843: No such file or directory
  make-string: expects argument of type <non-negative exact integer>; given -1
