Just an FYI: I just tried to update to Ktor 1.4.3 (got the announcement email), and it breaks some of our APIs due to the fact that it no longer encodes all ‘=’ in the query parameters. See here:
https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/commit/a55249b7495c4f4426f458d6cb56b7122e025cb3 I agree that according to the spec this ought to work fine, and it is more of an issue on our (admittedly old) server code. But perhaps it might adversely impact others as well. Thanks.
