Yes, exporting 'request' alone would serve my purpose, although
'define-http-verb' would make my script much shorter. But, I'll leave it
to your judgement. Should I send a new patch exporting 'request' alone?

I have also submitted one more patch
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30076 related to the web
client, and required for the same PowerDNS API client that I am working
on. It's a very simple patch. And, it would be nice if you could review
it as well.

Thanks.
