I wrote the following code using http4s client library
import org.http4s.UrlForm
import org.http4s.Uri
import org.http4s.client.blaze.SimpleHttp1Client
import org.http4s.dsl._
import org.http4s.client._
val requestUrl = s"$url/foo/bar"
val client = SimpleHttp1Client()
val uri = Uri.fromString(requestUrl).valueOr(throw _)
val req = POST(uri, UrlForm("name" -> "foo"))
val result = client.expect[String](req).run
println(result)
But this gets an exception
[error] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: scalaz.syntax.std.package$option$.ToOptionIdOps(Ljava/lang/Object;)Lscalaz/syntax/std/OptionIdOps;

My sbt dependencies are
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.http4s" % "http4s-core_2.11" % "0.15.3"
"org.http4s" % "http4s-blaze-client_2.11" % "0.15.3"
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-argonaut" % "0.15.3"
"org.http4s" % "http4s-dsl_2.11" % "0.15.3"
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-client" % "0.15.3"
)
I cleaned them up a bit for you:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-core" % "0.15.3",
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-blaze-client" % "0.15.3",
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-argonaut" % "0.15.3",
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-dsl" % "0.15.3",
"org.http4s" %% "http4s-client" % "0.15.3"
)
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
I can't reproduce it with that. I'd install https://github.com/jrudolph/sbt-dependency-graph and see if you have some libraries that depends on scalaz 7.1/7.2 - here's the matrix
For URI handling, there's a tiny bit of doc.
