Can I change engine with the shallow copies created via httpClient.config { .. }?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Unfortunately, no.

I can hack it by casting. Am I not supposed to?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

When you call the config method, the reference to the engine is copied.

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

The engine cannot be overridden by the config method because the reference is stored outside of the config.
