Building a HTTP Request Visualizer in Rust (Part 1)

We will be constructing the POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints to manage different types of requests.

Post Endpoint

This endpoint is responsible for processing POST requests, extracting all values from the request body excluding images, videos, and audios, defining header requests, and querying parameters.

To implement this functionality:
