hi all, is it expected that ByteReadChannel removes newlines? If so, is there a way to preserve the newlines instead?

[e5l]

Hi! Could you tell me how you are reading from channel?

[Jason Han]

we're trying to do something like this

OutgoingContent.WriteChannelContent() {
  override val contentType = RdfContentTypes.Turtle
  override suspend fun writeTo(channel: ByteWriteChannel) {
    call.request.receiveChannel().copyTo(channel)
}

[Jason Han]

where we want to forward the request body to another service

[e5l]

It should keep new lines in this case. Could you try use logging or reading body as string?

[Jason Han]

i have, and it does seem to remove newlines

[Jason Han]

encoding should be default UTF-8, so not sure what's going on

[Jason Han]

call.request.receiveChannel().readUTF8Line() should preserve newlines as well right?

[e5l]

It will read line by line

[Jason Han]

ok so that is definitely concatenating lines

i'm sending an rdf turtle file, and i see all the prefixes on one line doing that
