The `Darwin` engine uses `NSURLSession` internally...

# ktor

[Stefan Oltmann]

The Darwin engine uses NSURLSession internally. If I load a bytes from a webservice in common code this is of course a Kotlin ByteArray. I assume this must be converted from NSData internally.

Since skiko can now read an Image directly from NSData without the need to have it converted to ByteArray first, I wonder if there is a way that I can get NSData from a ktor call without the conversion.

This should have a positive effect on memory consumption if this is done in masses for a photo app like Ashampoo Photos.

Is it possible?

It seems that's impossible because those implementation details are private or internal.

Maybe they should be exposed in the Apple sourcesets.
