Http Client in CLIPS
Here’s the translation of the Go HTTP client example to Java, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:
Our example demonstrates how to create a simple HTTP client using Java’s built-in libraries. We’ll use the java.net.http
package, which provides excellent support for HTTP clients in Java 11 and later.
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class HttpClientExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Create an HttpClient object
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
// Build the HTTP GET request
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(URI.create("https://gobyexample.com"))
.build();
// Send the request and get the response
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request,
HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
// Print the HTTP response status
System.out.println("Response status: " + response.statusCode());
// Print the first 5 lines of the response body
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(response.body().lines().iterator()));
for (int i = 0; i < 5 && reader.ready(); i++) {
System.out.println(reader.readLine());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
In this example, we’re using Java’s HttpClient
to issue a simple HTTP GET request.
We first create an
HttpClient
object, which is similar to thehttp.DefaultClient
in the original example.We then build an
HttpRequest
object, specifying the URL we want to GET.We send the request using the
client.send()
method, which returns anHttpResponse
object.We print the response status code, which is equivalent to the
Status
in the original example.Finally, we read the first 5 lines of the response body. In Java, we use a
BufferedReader
to read the response body line by line.
To run this program, save it as HttpClientExample.java
, compile it, and then run it:
$ javac HttpClientExample.java
$ java HttpClientExample
Response status: 200

This Java implementation provides similar functionality to the original example, demonstrating how to make HTTP requests and process responses in Java.
