What's the best way to fully dump a ktor request? I'm getting a 406 from the server, but I can't figure out why, neither can reproduce it with httpie.

Code:

val creation = client.request(url.build()) {
        basicAuth("admin", rabbitmqPassword)
        method = m
        contentType(ContentType.Application.Json)
        setBody(body)
    }

Making the same request with httpie works just fine.

[reactormonk]

val client = HttpClient(CIO) {
    install(ContentNegotiation) {
        json()
    }
}

TRACE i.k.c.p.c.ContentNegotiation - Adding Accept=application header for

[reactormonk]

Ah nah, just a bit unfortunate logging

🤨

TRACE i.k.c.p.compression.ContentEncoding - Adding Accept-Encoding=io.ktor.client.request.HttpRequestBuilder@36254a64 for

Ah 🤦 406 vs. 400

I would make requests with either client while observing HTTP traffic in Wireshark to determine the difference.

Burp with https mitm proxy would probably work even better
