Hey there! If I have a ktor client and some sealed class Foo that has Bar and Baz as subclasses, and I make a post request that can either create a Bar or a Baz , how can I do that? Do I say <http://myClient.post|myClient.post><Foo> { … } and then process the entity as either Bar or Baz ?

I've left a comment in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69929053/how-to-serialise-to-a-sealed-class-using-ktor-client-post

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

val response = client.request<HttpResponse>("<https://example.com>")
if (response.status == HttpStatusCode.OK) {
    response.receive<SuccessResponse>()
} else {
    response.receive<ErrorResponse>()
}

Or use a when statement

[Dennis Schröder]

when(val response = client.request<HttpResponse>("<https://example.com>")) {
 is SuccessResponse -> ... do success stuff
 is ErrorResponse -> ... do error stuff
}
