Hi all, is the `httpClient` thread-safe? From the answer in <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48532860/is-it-thread-safe-to-make-calls-to-okhttpclient-in-parallel|here> and <https://slack-chats.kotlinlang.org/t/13910533/is-a-ktor-http-client-thread-safe-can-i-concurrently-call-ge|here>, I inferred that using `httpClient` with the `OkHttp` engine is thread-safe. Still can someone confirm if this is true? Thanks in advance

Also is the `httpClient` supposed to be used as a singleton? Is it possible to change to a specific engine so that I can create multiple instance of `httpClient` ?
