Is there a ktor-client plugin that adds set of default headers such as Date (counterpart to server plugin DefaultHeaders)?

[CLOVIS]

Yes: https://ktor.io/docs/default-request.html

I found that, but there doesnt seem to be option to add Date header?

[Berkay Özkan]

defaultRequest {
    header("X-Date", "${Instant.now()}")
}

You can use something like this. Or are you looking for something else?

[Daniel]

I wanted standard Date header, I thought the client would add one by default

Ok, I solved it by

defaultRequest{
    header(HttpHeaders.Date, GMTDate().toHttpDate())
}
