Maybe I am overlooking things, but i want to make a simple request using the Ktor Client in JS to https://xkcd.com/info.0.json However, the xkcd server doesn't have CORS enabled and as such Chrome is blocking it. But I can't find how to set

mode

to

no-cors

for Ktor Client in JS.

So are you making a request from a browser environment?

Yes, to a server I don't control

Then you can’t do a cross origin request.

But you can, when using the browser fetch API and setting mode to no-cors.
