Clojure WebSocket Client

Question

I have set up a WebSocket server using http-kit that should accept web socket connections. It is the basic example shown in the http-kit documentation.

The quest

Answer 1

According to this announcement, http-kit has support for web sockets. If you're not bound to the asynchronous facilities that http-kit client offer, you could also use clj-http. They have a very similar interface, it seems (I have use but clj-http yet).

(ns playground.experiments.ws
  (:use aleph.http lamina.core))

(defn ws-client [] (websocket-client {:url "ws://echo.websocket.org:80"}))

(defn echo [message]
  (let [channel (wait-for-result (ws-client) 500)]
    (enqueue channel message)
      (let [echo (wait-for-result (read-channel channel) 500)]
        (close channel)
        echo)))

(echo "Echo me!")
