Another question - I'm porting code from ktor 1, and there's a unit test that tests that some code that uses ktor's HttpClient executes properly. Previously the request.body it would pass to the MockEngine would be of type TextContent, so the test could inspect it to make sure it had the right content. With ktor 2, however, the request.body is an OutputStreamContent - what's the best way for me to verify that its content is correct?

response.bodyAsText()

[Jonathan Lennox]

This is a request not a response.

[hfhbd]

Oh, sorry, missed it.

[Jonathan Lennox]

It looks like

suspend fun OutputStreamContent.asText(): String =
    String(ByteChannel().also { writeTo(it) }.toByteArray(), Charsets.UTF_8)

works, but is there a cleaner way?

[hfhbd]

Your could use .body.toByteReadPacket().readText() instead, but don't know, which is better 😄

[Jonathan Lennox]

That version doesn't make me presume that the type of body is OutputStreamContent, so it seems better. Thanks!

[hfhbd]

And it does not enforce utf-8

[Jonathan Lennox]

Indeed - presumably it picks up the right encoding from the request?

[hfhbd]

Yes, from the data

[Jonathan Lennox]

Great
