Anyone have an example of making a

HEAD

request with Ktor's

HttpClient

specifically with using CIO engine? This request:

httpClient.head<HttpResponse> {
    url {
         protocol = URLProtocol.HTTPS
         host = "<http://www.website.com/trying/to/get/etag/outta/here|www.website.com/trying/to/get/etag/outta/here>"
    }
}

Returns

java.nio.channels.UnresolvedAddressException

only when using CIO engine. When using another engine, e.g. Android, its completes fine. Wondering if there's something special I need to be doing with CIO head requests.

Hey @Shan, it looks like you’re trying to set entire

url

to host. Could you try

url("<http://www.website.com/trying/to/get/etag/outta/here|www.website.com/trying/to/get/etag/outta/here>")

instead?

Hmm that seems to be working fine. I wonder why it was working with the

host =

using the Android engine? Perhaps appending all the url-related strings differently? anyways, working now, so thanks!
