*Ktor server*
When a request is timed out, should the handling of the request fail?

```post("/foo") {
    println("foo 1")
//... requests takes long time to send and times out
    val receivedData = call.receiveText() // gets to read the body when the request timed out
    println("Data received: $receivedData")
    call.respond(HttpStatusCode.OK, "ok")
}```
I get partial result from a json-string, which is not possible to deserialize. Which is a bit weird

Your problem might be similar to <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-7977|KTOR-7977>. Can you reproduce the problem with the OkHttp engine?

I would guess it doesn't matter which client-engine you use, since it's the server handling that is unexpected

When I execute your test, it prints `Data received:`   from the route handler. Do you expect an exception to be thrown?

Yes, i would expect it to throw some kind of expection. But it might be that it's not wanted. 

But somehow I would expect it to throw an exception when the client has closed the connection and the request has not been fully read

I've filed an <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTOR-8619|issue> to address this problem.
