The following code GET does not allow me to properly override the base URL set for my HttpClient .
The route.path returns a fully qualified url ie *https://movies-test.com/sp-json/v1/movies*
But this doesn’t override the URL merging strategy of HttpClient.defaultRequest
My resolved URL looks like so:
_*https://movies-test.com/sp-json/v1/https://movies-test.com/sp-json/v1/movies*_

client.get {

    url {
        path(route.path)
        if (components.isNotEmpty()) {
            appendPathSegments(components = components)
        }
    }
    requestBody?.let(::setBody)
}

Here is how I setup my HttpClient

defaultRequest {
    url {
        url.takeFrom(baseUrl)
        parameters.appendIfNameAndValueAbsent("output", "json")
    }

    headers.appendIfNameAbsent(
        name = HttpHeaders.ContentType,
        value = ContentType.Application.Json.toString()
    )
    headers.appendIfNameAbsent("token", apiToken)
}

you only add the path. you need to replace the url with route.path

[Chrimaeon]

client.get(route.path)

What is your baseUrl look like?

I was able to get the baseURL replacement working by passing the URL into get(...) instead of using path(…)
