You probably want to use the net/http-client library, specifically the
http-sendrecv function. I’m not 100% sure, but I’d guess that the equivalent
Racket code for your curl command would look something like this.
(require net/http-client
net/uri-codec)
(http-sendrecv
"192.168.1.20" "/api/<username>/lights/8/state"
#:method 'PUT
#:data
(alist->form-urlencoded
'((on #t)
(bri 170)
(ct 500)))
#:headers
'("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"))
