trying to use ktor-server on kotlin-native.. got everything i care about working .. but StatusPages seems to not work

the callbacks for handling exceptions get executed.. but call.respondText(text = cause.message, status = HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError) seems to not trigger a http response and the request is just hanging

I cannot reproduce it with the following code:

embeddedServer(CIO, port = 4444) {
    install(StatusPages) {
        exception { call, cause: Throwable ->
            call.respondText(text = cause.message!!, status = HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError)
        }
    }

    routing {
        get("/") {
            throw Exception("some error")
        }
    }
}.start(wait = true)

Could you please share a code snippet?

i think it happened because i was using call.respondBytesWriter {}
and passing the write channel to some function.. in there it might throw..
i restructured to code to instead return a Memory and feed that into the write channel

now it works
