Akka HTTP provides a fast, reliable and asynchronous HTTP client.

It uses reactive streams to implement TCP backpressure.

This library implements a ring like DSL for using Akka HTTP (along with the power of Reactive Streams) that closely mimics existing Clojure HTTP clients.

• Request Entities (content types are set different in Akka HTTP)
• {:as :json} Set content types
• Configuration options for tuning the client
• Better docs
• Proxy and TLS configurable

(ns myns
  (require [akka-http-clj.client :as http]))

(defn example-request []
  (let [req {:method :post
             :uri "http://requestb.in/1mpaovf1"
             :headers {"X-Foo", "Bar"}
             :body "Hello World"}
        response @(http/request req)]
  (println response)
  ;; Meta data contains useful information like repsonse times :)
  (println (meta response)))

The request API mimics the http-kit and clj-http APIs as closely as possible.

GET request

@(client/get "http://example.com")

GET request with headers

@(client/get "http://example.com" {:headers {"X-Foo" "Bar"}})

POST request

@(client/get "http://example.com"
    {:body "Hello, World!"
     :headers {"X-Foo" "Bar"}})

The response time is automatically available in the response meta

(->> @(get "http://github.com/owainlewis")
                           (meta)
                           (:response-time))
