Hi, is there an update regarding br (Brotli) support in ktor-client-encoding? The only thing I could find is https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/408, but this is closed and the YouTrack link is broken

Solution:

implementation("org.brotli:dec:0.1.2")

install(ContentEncoding) {
           this.customEncoder(object : ContentEncoder {
               override val name = "br"

               override fun CoroutineScope.decode(source: ByteReadChannel): ByteReadChannel {
                   return BrotliInputStream(source.toInputStream()).toByteReadChannel()
               }

               override fun CoroutineScope.encode(source: ByteReadChannel): ByteReadChannel {
                    TODO()
               }
           })
        }

The issue in YouTrack now can be seeing by everyone but it contains the same comments as in Github issue.

So unfortunately, Ktor doesn’t still have a support for Brotli encoder/decoder.

Fortunately it's very easy to use a third party encoder (probably not optimized for ktor, but whatever), but I have to use a 2017 release (https://github.com/google/brotli/issues/715)

Yeah, the only problem is that it’s not multiplatform.

Yeah, also
