We’ve been using defaultRequest { } to configure the base URL for our backend, like https://backend.com , then do things like get("users").

If the base url has a segment though, like https://backend.com/v1 . v1 is ignored in get("users") will still hit https://backend.com/users. I kind of get why this happens but is there any way to make it work?

Could you try <https://backend.com/v1/> instead?

[natario1]

Hmm yeah it works! As long as I use get(“users”) and not get(“/users”). A bit tricky but thanks a lot!
