Handling HTTP Requests and Responses
Work directly with Ring request/response maps: status, headers, body, params, and streaming.
Ring makes HTTP concrete: a request is a map, a response is a map, and your code decides what goes in and out. That explicitness is a major readability win for Java engineers used to deep framework stacks.
This section teaches the request/response shape so debugging becomes “inspect a map” rather than “guess what the framework injected.”
