Hello Group,

I'm writing a web server in Clojure and I'd love to have a bit of help
on a function I have.

This function (and at http://gist.github.com/305909) is used to read
the HTTP request from a client and to then act on it:

(defn handle-request
    [in out]
    (binding [*in* (BufferedReader. (InputStreamReader. in))]
        (let [client-out (OutputStreamWriter. out)]
            (loop [lines []]
                (let [input (read-line)]
                    (if
                        (= (.length input) 0)
                        ;; 0 length line means it's time to serve the
resource
                        (println lines)
                        ;; add to the lines vector and keep going
                        ;; note it makes the incoming request reversed
                        (recur (cons input lines))))))))

The code works fine; I've left out the bit that actually does
something and replaced it with a println call.  It's not very
functional feeling though.  The loop/recur and the building of a list
seems very imperative to me.  I'd much rather use something from
clojure.contrib.io, probably using read-lines or something.

Thanks for looking and for any suggestions!

Matt
