Hi. Can I use somehow call.receiveParameters() together with "Form Authentication"? Say I have username/password validated via Authentication plugin, but also in the form, there's more parameters I'd like to handle in my actual endpoint handling...

right now if I go:

install(Authentication) {
     form("foo") {
       validate { .... }
     }
   }
  authenticate("foo", optional = true)
   post("something") { 
     val params = call.formParameters() 
     ...
   }
 }

All I get is Request body has already been consumed (received).

You should use double receive plugin https://ktor.io/docs/server-double-receive.html#install_plugin
I guess we should mention this use-case in the Docs
@Bruce Hamilton wdyt?

[Bruce Hamilton]

Yes, DoubleReceive is made for these kinds of scenarios 👍

🙇 thanks folks!

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

any serious risks that this "Experimental API" will be somehow removed from future versions?

[Jakub Gwóźdź]

(ah no, it's still experimental in docs, not really in the code 🙂 )

[Bruce Hamilton]

Oh, we should remove that... there's nothing experimental about it now
