hi, sorry if this has been asked before but using the ktor HttpClient and trying to receive an HttpResponse from a <http://client.post|client.post><HttpResponse>(url) {} it does not seem to throw any exceptions on 4xx or 5xx response codes. Is this the intended behavior? It doesn’t mention on the docs that the default response validator doesn’t fire in this scenario. If the type is switched from HttpResponse to String it throws the error

[Justin Moy]

it appears if we do not call response.readText() the validators will not fire and no exception will be thrown.

this is in ktor 1.4

[Rustam Siniukov]

yes, it’s a bug and was fixed in 1.5.0

upgrade fixed it, thanks
