I guess I've tracked the problem down to the fact that the Racket hash is
not a digest.
I don't really know what that means.
If I do:
echo -n "foo" | openssl dgst -sha1 -hmac "privatekey"
I get what I'm looking for, a 40 character hex hash:
6d1198d3c8770f2409c6b73ed11af9d2076e4588
I'm not sure how to get Racket to do this as well. Does anyone know?
