castra | Partitioned storage system based on blosc | Storage library

I am using Hoplon to create a fairly simple site and an stuck on the AJAX part. In the past I have used Castra as the backend but since it is no longer maintained I have switched to a normal LuminusWeb backend. I am in need of making a call to the server in which I will the server and then wait for a response. I know how to do it on the server side but I can't seem to find any information about how to do it on the Hoplon Client side.

How can I send a request to the server using an AJAX call?

I know how to do it in jQuery and assume, possibly wrongly, there is something similar to $.POST in Hoplon.

I'm following a tutorial that uses castra and dask to read in reddit comments.

I have installed the latest versions of dask and pandas using anaconda and castra using pip. My pandas version is '0.22.0', and I have installed msgpack using pip install pandas-msgpack -U I am using Python 3.6.

Trying to import castra gives me the following error:

I have been using the Boot build tool with Hoplon and a Castra backend for a bit but recently have come across a glitch that I don't quite seem to understand. It happens across all my Hoplon projects often. The problem seems to be that when I go to localhost:8000 in the browser sometimes it displays the CSS that is written in 'app.css' correctly and sometimes it doesn't. On top of that sometimes it displays the background images and sometimes it doesn't. I mean in the browser.

I have tried debugging the error for a very long time and have found some ways of getting both loading but not consistently. Sometimes if I edit the hLisp page and save it loads the CSS and Background Images but sometimes that doesn't work. Another way is to edit the app.css file and save. Both are somewhat unreliable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
