[racket] web server log format

Alright. I looked into this more.

The 200 and 512 from the log are not about the request, they are about the
response:

"200 (%>s)
This is the status code that the server sends back to the client. This
information is very valuable, because it reveals whether the request
resulted in a successful response (codes beginning in 2), a redirection
(codes beginning in 3), an error caused by the client (codes beginning in
4), or an error in the server (codes beginning in 5). The full list of
possible status codes can be found in the HTTP specification (RFC2616
section 10).

2326 (%b)
The last part indicates the size of the object returned to the client, not
including the response headers. If no content was returned to the client,
this value will be "-". To log "0" for no content, use %B instead."

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/logs.html

But the Racket Web server only has request logging by default, not response
logging, so it makes something up in these positions. I will update the
docs to mention this.
