"reader" and "writer" from duck streams are intended only
for character streams and AFAIK there are no binary counterparts available
so far. So the only way is to use Java streams directly.
This is what I came up with:
<code>
(ns test-http
(:require [clojure.contrib.duck-streams :as ds]
[clojure.contrib.http.agent :as http])
(:import [java.io FileOutputStream]))
(await
(http/http-agent
"http://clojure.googlecode.com/files/clojure_1.0.0.zip";
:handler (fn [agnt]
(with-open [w (FileOutputStream. "clojure.zip")]
(ds/copy (http/stream agnt) w)))))
(shutdown-agents)
</code>
HTH,
Rob
