Have you taken a look at net/url <https://docs.racket-lang.org/net/url.html?q=net%2Furl>? From there, I see:
- make-http-connection <https://docs.racket-lang.org/net/url.html?q=net%2Furl#%28def._%28%28lib._net%2Furl..rkt%29._make-http-connection%29%29>, which can allow calls to get-pure-port/headers to stay connected if the server allows it. - current-proxy-servers <https://docs.racket-lang.org/net/url.html?q=net%2Furl#%28def._%28%28lib._net%2Furl..rkt%29._current-proxy-servers%29%29> and current-no-proxy-servers, which show they respect http_proxy, https_proxy, and no_proxy. There are also get-pure-port <https://docs.racket-lang.org/net/url.html?q=net%2Furl#%28def._%28%28lib._net%2Furl..rkt%29._get-pure-port%2Fheaders%29%29> related functions that allow setting headers, which I think should let you set your cookies? For JSON, you can take look at the json <https://docs.racket-lang.org/json/index.html?q=json> docs if you're interested in converting the HTTP response bodies into a JSON expression. These expressions can then be treated like any other expression where you can map/filter/fold over lists and access map elements with hash table functions. To find this stuff, I just searched for "http" and "json" using the ". . . search manuals . . ." box at the top right of the docs. The search looks through all of the Racket API as well as many user-contributed packages. It makes it very easy to find whatever you might be interested in.
