Hi,
I'm writing a pretty simple HTTPS API that, when you make a request to it, it makes a bunch of requests on your behalf, and eventually reports success or failure. Because it makes many requests with a bunch of interaction between them, I'd really like to use core.async. Internally (that is, until it hit the HTTP server API), it's a channel with a bunch of maps on it that eventually closes when it's done. I can write the code to turn this bunch-of-maps into a suitable response map, but the hard part seems to be getting HTTP servers to accept a channel instead of a synchronous response. I started with ring and a bunch of middleware, but ring seems to really want me to return a request map synchronously. I guess the API that I'd ideally want is something just like a ring handler (and that works with ring middleware), but instead lets me return a (core.async) channel. That channel would probably just return a single response map and close. I was already using http-kit for the asynchronous client, so I started with using it as the server as well. Unfortunately it does not appear to support the API above. The async server API is this long-polling/websockety thing that lets me pipe in some data (which is ignored by middleware), but I do really want simple HTTP(S) request/response pairs. Just lots of them :-) Doing take!! off that channel with the request-map might work, but probably isn't the best idea in terms of concurrency. thanks in advance for your suggestions, lvh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
