Is there any way to do a get inside a

return HttpClient(OkHttp) {
  //For instance if I want to update a refreshToken
}

It's definitely possible if you implement your own feature. Copy the code from OAuthFeature and modify it pass the client to the lambdas.

But the thing is how do I do a get in the lambda? If to do so I need an HttpClient, right?

[Dominaezzz]

You'll have the HttpClient when installing the feature.

[Pablo]

How do I get reference of HttpClient? For instance if I have a service that via parameter receives an httpclient how do I call this?
Service(httpClient:HttpClient) inside the feature?

I misread your question at first, but you will probably be looking for features. Usually you cannot use an object while configuring it, exactly like here.

[Joost Klitsie]

Or you construct an http client that can handle authentication

[Joost Klitsie]

and a second one to handle any other api calls

[Joost Klitsie]

but yeah then you will have twice the resources in use

otherwise, perhaps have a look here: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/1967
