If I’d write a custom HttpClientEngine , is there any way I can run the ktor test suite on them? Those tests do not happen to get published to maven, or? There’s ktor-client-tests* but it doesn’t contain the actual test cases, right?

Actually it does. Test suites discover engines via client loader (spi on jvm) and run tests with each found engine.

Oh, that sound great. Do you know which package exactly and what kind of initialization I’d have to do from my test source set? Is there an out-of-the-ktor-repository example somewhere? :)

We had never a good reason for this. For spi you need a text file containing a fully qualified class name. Every jvm engine has it. When a test suite starts, it scans for client engine providers via ServiceLoader.
