Is there a way to retry requests with Ktor ? I’ve tried using HttpSend feature, but wasn’t able to get the request to retry 😞

I am referring to client implementation ofc

Found a way, nevermind. I have set timeout to be very low and it didn’t even manage to retry the request 😄

If anyone needs it, a very basic sample:

this.install(HttpSend) {
    intercept { httpClientCall, httpRequestBuilder ->
        println(message = "Request URL: ${httpClientCall.request.url}")

        // Some retry strategy logic...
        // TODO: ...

        if (shouldRetry) {
            execute(httpRequestBuilder)
        } else {
            httpClientCall
        }
    }

    maxSendCount = 10
}
