You're kiddin' right?

You are actually asking [some pretty busy] people to [get acquainted with,
and] debug your code for you, for free, I presume. Iff you have a minimal
example exposing you're problem, maybe some help might come your way, but
you're already sighting a gazillion dependencies, the problem could be
anywhere [but most probably in your own code, look there, check invariants,
assumptions you make and re-read docs pertaining to your dependencies]. You
write: "... I just used the examples given on Beast's GitHub repository and
extended it to also handle POST requests)", that sounds like a likely
candidate [the "just" doesn't sound right in my ear].
