Dan Larkin started one a little while ago. I took it and ran with it. http://github.com/technomancy/clojure-http-client It consists of two different namespaces, clojure.http.client and clojure.http.resourcefully. The client code is lower-level and works pretty close to the underlying API, while resourcefully is higher-level and is designed for interacting with REST-based APIs. It handles persisting cookies and it will raise exceptions on requests that fail rather than just giving a return code. (Still working on that last bit.) Documentation is sparse, but I think it's pretty straightforward. It uses the JDK's HTTPURLConnection internally. Some folks have pointed me towards the Apache Commons HTTP Client, but I haven't seen much that it offers over what's built-in to the JDK apart from connection pooling, so I've been content with what I've got. Dan has suggested that once it's better-tested and stabilized it could be submitted to Clojure Contrib. I think that might be a good idea. Let me know if you find it useful. I would love to get some comments. -Phil --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
