Hi All, Thanks for your help. Solution follows. Thanks for the pointer to netcat.
Turns out I was missing the Content-Type. Hence: #lang racket (require net/url) (require net/uri-codec) (require net/head) (require web-server/http/request-structs) (require racket/string) (define my-url (string->url "http://localhost:49986/Foo/Bar";)) (define (bytes-> str) (string->bytes/locale str)) (define (form-data str) (bytes-> str)) (define (post url data) (post-impure-port url (form-data data) '("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" "User-Agent: HackitWithRacket"))) (post my-url "foo=bar&fiz=buz") Which produced the following: C:\Users\Daniel\bxscripts>nc -l -p 49986 POST /Foo/Bar HTTP/1.0 Host: localhost:49986 Content-Length: 36 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded User-Agent: HackitWithRacket foo=bar&fiz=buz And it works. Fun. I hope this helps somebody.
