Confusingly, the argument to :request-dispatcher is something completely different from what create-prefix-dispatcher creates. The :request-dispatcher argument is only used when you do not want to use the dispatcher/handler architecture of hunchentoot. It is a function designator for a function that is called for each request to be handled. This function needs to parse the request and call an appropriate handler, in whatever fashion your architecture requires. Contrasted to that, create-prefix-dispatcher is part of hunchentoot's own dispatcher and handler architecture. If you want to use that, you'll not supply a :request-dispatcher argument when you create the acceptor, as the default will do the right thing.
