hey folks, does ktor provide some client-side compression out of the box? KTOR-1199 makes me think it does not 😞

Yes but not on kotlin native.

You can use the

ContentEncoding

plugin for decompressing a response body. To compress a request body you can use the GZIPOutputStream.

@Aleksei Tirman [JB] thanks for chiming in. Unfortunately (for this specific case) we do multiplatform so we’d have to implement it ourselves 🤔

That's sad.
