Hop

Minimal wrapper for Java's HttpClient.

Status

Currently for my personal use. Future breaking changes possible.

Deps

Add to deps.edn

{:deps
  {dev.onionpancakes/hop
    {:git/url   "https://github.com/onionpancakes/hop"
     :git/sha   "<GIT SHA>"}}}

Examples

GET

(require '[dev.onionpancakes.hop.client :as hop])

(hop/send "http://www.example.com")

(hop/send {:uri "http://www.example.com"} :input-stream)

POST

(hop/send {:method :POST
           :uri    "http://www.example.com"
           :body   "my post data"})

Usage

Require the namespace.

(require '[dev.onionpancakes.hop.client :as hop])

Send Requests

Send some request.

First arg is a request map. Strings are accepted as shorthand as {:uri <str value>}.
Second arg is a BodyHandler. When omitted, defaults to :byte-array.

(def resp
  (hop/send {:uri "http://www.example.com"}))

Read the response as a lookup map.

(println (:status resp)) ; 200
(println (:headers resp)) ; { some headers map value }
(println (:body resp)) ; Default body data as byte-array
(println (:media-type resp)) ; "text/html"
(println (:character-encoding resp)) ; "UTF-8"
(println (:content-type resp)) ; "text/html; charset=UTF-8"

Set Accept-Encoding Manually

Set accept-encoding manually.

(def resp
  (hop/send {:uri     "http://www.example.com"
             :headers {:accept-encoding "gzip"}}))

Decompress

(require '[dev.onionpancakes.hop.io :as io])

(slurp (io/decompress (:body resp) "gzip"))
