Making HTTP requests with Clojure -


i've started learning clojure , struggling api changes on past few years. in particular, in 1.2 there http-agent function in contrib allowed simple http requests:

 (http-agent "http..." :method "post" :body "foo=1")

this function removed , seems should either use clojure.java.io or 3rd party solution http-kit or clj-http.

i'm surprised java.io seems lower-level , loses simplicity or http-agent , making http requests seems should in core set of libraries (i realise subjective).

what's rationale removal of http-agent? did not fit core philosophy of clojure? , recommendations best library use basic http requests?

i cannot make authoritative statements reasons why particular part of old contrib failed make new contrib, in general things moved on when sufficiently many people interested, including able , willing maintain new libraries. perhaps in case there wasn't enough interest.

additionally, extremely straightforward build clojure projects on top of multiple libraries , not clear presence of http client library in core set of libraries or contrib make things simpler and/or easier developers now, excellent options available in wider ecosystem.

as particular examples of such excellent options, i'd point towards clj-http , http.async.client (in alphabetical order; 1 appropriate depends on whether you'd benefit firing off requests asynchronously).

Java, Hibernate, MySQL - store UTC date-time -

i saw here on few related questions (like this one , of course, this one )... essentially, want store date-time utc, , let application user choose time zone wants display date-time in. since seems date-time fields affected underlying jdbc driver, wonder if acceptable way go storing utc date-time: set both mysql , application server machine utc time zone (no need separate) both mysql , jvm should pick underlying system time settings (if not instructed otherwise) use datetime table columns on mysql side use java.util.date corresponding mapping on hibernate side (i guess java.sql.timestamp used too) let application worry interpreting date-time fields - i.e. let user choose preferred time zone is ok? edit clarify - here meant refer timestamps created strictly on server (e.g.date-time of record creation). application server instantiates date objects (new date() equals current date-time on server, , time zone agnostic). if client user wants supply date searching/filte...
