Get request with Rapture Http - scala

Question

I'm building an API with Rapture in Scala and having trouble resolving an issue with an implicit not being in scope. Here is the output from the error that I'm receiving.
[error] /Users/Petesta/Documents/scala-project/src/main/scala/scala-project/main.scala:35: an implicit TimeSystem is required; please import timeSystems.numeric or timeSystems.javaUtil
[error] Error occurred in an application involving default arguments.
[error] val response = h.get()
[error] ^
[error] one error found
[error] (compile:compile) Compilation failed
[error] Total time: 5 s, completed Oct 16, 2014 3:36:10 PM
Here is the code that it is failing on.
def getUser(userName: String) = {
val h = Http / "some_url" / "user" / userName /? Map('key -> "value")
val response = h.get()
}
I'm not sure what to do because I've tried importing both libraries separately and the error is still the same.
I've also added the -Xlog-implicits flag to see if something else is causing the error but no additional information is outputted.
Is there a good resource anywhere with using the rapture-net library for HTTP requests? I couldn't find one except for Jon Pretty's slides at Scala By The Bay. I couldn't figure out a way to pass in a url with query strings into rapture-uri since it expects function invocation to look like this uri"url_dot_domain_with_query_strings".slurp[Char].
Any ideas?

The compilation error is not entirely correct in this case. You need 1 of the 2 imports AND you need to specify a timeout value.
def getUser(userName: String) = {
import timeSystems.numeric
val h = Http / "some_url" / "user" / userName /? Map('key -> "value")
val response = h.get(timeout = 5000L)
}
I don't really know of a good resource on it, but your basic single code line is correct. The biggest problem with the library is really documentation about the imports required. But this is what I found works for me:
def getGoogle() = {
import rapture.codec._
import rapture.io._
import rapture.uri._
import rapture.net._
import encodings.`UTF-8`
uri"http://google.com".slurp[Char]
}
