Hi Matt, I think what you're looking for is line-seq: http://richhickey.github.com/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/line-seq
In your code, if you pass *in* to line-seq, you'll get back a seq of lines (the request headers). Incidentally, I first ran into line-seq in the course of writing a Clojure web server as a first project. You can see line-seq in action on line 52 of this gist, inside the 'handle-request' function: http://gist.github.com/203329 I'm pretty new to Clojure myself so there might be a better way. Hope this helps, Alan Excerpts from Matt Culbreth's message of 2010-02-16 16:17:57 -0500: > 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.
