Great question. And great answer.
Seriously! I did not know it could be that easy.
So an http GET just needs 1 lines!:
(slurp (reader "http://google.com";))
(Don't forget: (use 'clojure.java.io) )
Is there an equally easy way to do an http POST?
And also a multi-part (including one or more files in the POST)?
