Can I somehow get away from these exceptions? I'm handling these myself

You can disable default response validation by setting

expectSuccess

property to `false`https://ktor.io/docs/response-validation.html#default

thanks 😄

What do you mean?

when I set the expectSuccess to false, the response validator thing doesnt get called. Thats my full builder:

val http = HttpClient {
        config.httpClientConfig(this)
        defaultRequest {
            header("Authorization", "Bot ${config.token}")
            header("User-Agent", "<http://Discord.KM|Discord.KM> (\$<https://github.com/jan-tennert/Discord.KM>, $0.3)")
        }

        HttpResponseValidator {
            handleResponseException {
                val clientException = it as? ClientRequestException ?: return@handleResponseException
                errorHandler.handle(clientException)
            }
        }

        expectSuccess = false
    }

It gets called if any exceptions are thrown. You can use

validateResponse

inside

HttpResponseValidator

to validate a response.
