[racket] Building a server that responds to POST/PUT/DELETE requests

This sounds strange to me. Request objects have a 'method' field that
you can look at it. The bindings are a promise so that non-form-data
POST content doesn't get erroneously parsed as bindings (unless you
force the promise). This is all in place so that you can implement
which ever methods you want without interference from the server's
default behavior. Can you post a small example that has the hanging
error?
