I want to automate filling in data on a website using clojure.

For this I want to query elements of webpages and create http requests. I have been looking at using HttpUnit and contrib.clojure.zip-filter.xml. So far neither approach feels right.

Are there alternative libraries to aid with this task?

thanks

Seems like the perfect use case for Enlive (characterised by the author -- Christophe Grand -- as "a selector-based (à la CSS) templating and transformation system for Clojure").

See e.g. the How to select nth element of particular type in enlive? SO question -- and my answer to it -- for an example of use. For more in-depth information, there's David Nolen's excellent tutorial.

Not that you couldn't use zippers... Here's another SO question which might be relevant if you choose to go the zipper route: stackoverflow.com/questions/2872921/…
Enlive rocks. Highly recommend it. Zippers would be my second choice but Enlive is way better than a zipper.
