Synchronous HTTP call in Scala -

i need perform single synchronous http post call: create http post request data, connect server, send request, receive response, , close connection. important release all resources used call.

now doing in java apache http client. how can scala dispatch library ?

something should work (haven't tested though)

import dispatch._, defaults._ import scala.concurrent.future import scala.concurrent.duration._  def postsync(path: string, params: map[string, any] = map.empty): either[java.lang.throwable, string] = {   val r = url(path).post << params   val future = http(r ok as.string).either   await.result(future, 10.seconds) } 

(i'm using https://github.com/dispatch/reboot example)

you explicitly wait result of future, either string or exception.

and use like

postsync("http://api.example.com/a/resource", map("param1" -> "foo") match {   case right(res) => println(s"success! result $res")   case left(e) => println(s"woops, went wrong: ${e.getmessage}") }
