A work in progress.
There are two namespaces, clojure.http.client, which provides a simple "request" function, and clojure.http.resourcefully, which is targeted more towards interactions with REST-based APIs.
(ns clojure.http.example
(:use [clojure.http.client]
[clojure.contrib.json.write])
(:require [clojure.http.resourcefully :as resourcefully]))
(let [response (request "http://google.com")]
(:code response) ;; 200
(:msg response) ;; "OK"
(:body-seq response)) ;; ("<html><head><meta[...]" ...
(resourcefully/put "http://localhost:5984/my-db/doc1"
{} (json-str {:hello "world"}))
(resourcefully/with-cookies
(resourcefully/post "http://localhost:3000/login"
{} {"user" user "password" password})
(resourcefully/get "http://localhost:3000/my-secret-page))
The functions in resourcefully are named after the HTTP verbs. Note that resourcefully must be required :as something since it defines a "get" function, which would interfere with core if it were fully referred. Exceptions will be raised for status codes that indicate problems, so you don't have to check return codes manually. If you use resourcefully inside a "with-cookies" block, cookies will automatically be saved in a cookies ref and sent out with each request.
