+You should send a @litchar{Content-Type} header with the value
+@litchar{application/x-www-form-urlencoded} and send the data
+formatted by @racketmodname[net/uri-codec]'s
+@racket[form-urlencoded-encode] function. For example,
+
+@(require (for-label net/uri-codec))
+@racketblock[

+   #:method "POST"
+   #:data
