# Clojurl
An example HTTP/S client CLI using Clojure and GraalVM native image.
Generated with [clj.native-cli template](https://github.com/taylorwood/clj.native-cli).
Uses deps.edn and [clj.native-image](https://github.com/taylorwood/clj.native-image).
## Prerequisites
- GraalVM 1.0.0-RC9 or higher
- Clojure
GraalVM 1.0.0-RC7 added HTTPS as a supported protocol, and this is a brief walkthrough
for using it in a Clojure project with GraalVM Community Edition for macOS.
Enable HTTPS protocol support with `native-image` options `--enable-https` or `--enable-url-protocols=https`.
#### Earlier versions of GraalVM
The following steps are only necessary with GraalVM 19.2.1 and earlier:
1. Configure path to `libsunec.dylib` on macOS (or `libsunec.do` on Linux)
This shared object comes with the GraalVM distribution and can be found in
`$GRAALVM_HOME/jre/lib/`. GraalVM uses `System.loadLibrary` to load it at run-time
whenever it's first used. The file must either be in the current working directory,
or in a path specified in Java system property `java.library.path`.
I set the Java system property at run-time, before first HTTPS attempt:
```clojure
(System/setProperty "java.library.path"
(str (System/getenv "GRAALVM_HOME") "/jre/lib"))
```
See [this](https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/substratevm/JCA-SECURITY-SERVICES.md#native-implementations)
and [this](https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/substratevm/URL-PROTOCOLS.md#https-support)
for more information on HTTPS support in GraalVM and native images. If you're distributing
a native image, you'll need to include libsunec. If it's in the same directory as your image
you don't need to set `java.library.path`.
You'll see a [warning](https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/e3ef4f3f741d171a83c2dd2a0390dbede6b2c62d/substratevm/src/com.oracle.svm.core/src/com/oracle/svm/core/jdk/SecuritySubstitutions.java#L204)
at run-time if this hasn't been properly configured:
```
WARNING: The sunec native library could not be loaded.
```
1. Use more complete certificate store
Some versions of GraalVM may have a smaller set of CA certificates. You can workaround this
by replacing GraalVM's `cacerts`. I renamed the file and replaced it with a symbolic link
to `cacerts` from the JRE that comes with macOS Mojave:
```bash
$ mv $GRAALVM_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts $GRAALVM_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts.bak
$ ln -s $(/usr/libexec/java_home)/jre/lib/security/cacerts $GRAALVM_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
```
If you don't do this, you might see errors like this when attempting HTTPS connections:
```
Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
8<------------------------
Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
8<------------------------
Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
```
## Usage
Compile the program with GraalVM `native-image`:
```bash
$ clojure -A:native-image
```
Print CLI options:
```
$ ./clojurl -h
-u, --uri URI URI of request
-H, --header HEADER Request header(s)
-d, --data DATA Request data
-m, --method METHOD GET Request method e.g. GET, POST, etc.
-o, --output FORMAT edn Output format e.g. edn, hickory
-v, --verbose Print verbose info
-h, --help Print this message
```
Responses can be printed in EDN or Hickory format.
Make a request and print response to stdout:
```
$ ./clojurl -u https://postman-echo.com/get
{:headers
{"content-encoding" "gzip",
"content-type" "application/json; charset=utf-8",
"date" "Fri, 05 Oct 2018 03:56:49 GMT",
"etag" "W/\"10b-EZIoyNoyzUvEaPxY+kzMOEgaNh0\"",

```
```
$ ./clojurl -H Accept=application/json -H X-Session-Id=1234 -H Content-Type=application/json \

-m post -d "{'foo':true}"

```
As a proof-of-concept for using Clojure 1.9 + clojure.spec.alpha + Expound with GraalVM native-image,
the CLI options are validated using specs and invalid options can be explained using Expound:
```
$ ./clojurl -u https://postman-echo.com/get -o foo --verbose
Invalid option(s)
-- Spec failed --------------------
{:headers ...,
:method ...,
:output-fn nil,
^^^
:url ...,
:verbose? ...}
should satisfy
ifn?
-- Relevant specs -------
