How do you implement optional body in request handler? There is receiveNullable<T>() but Ktor server still sends a 415 if I don't provide a body

Right now I have this:

val payload =
                if (call.request.contentLength() == null || call.request.contentLength() == 0L) {
                    null
                } else {
                    call.receive<Payload>()
                }

but I really expected this to work:

val payload = call.receiveNullable<Payload>()

Hey! Could you try:

val payload = call.receiveNullable<Payload?>()

Exact same error. Maybe receiveNullable isn't meant for that use case, but I don't see any other one so I expected it to be designed for what I wanted.
