How do I set up the HttpClient with kotlinx.serializtion where every api endpoint has a custom vendor specific content-type? if I use the accept() function with multiple content-types they are also added to the accept header on the request which I don't want because we already specifiy that where I make the actual request.
So api call A needs to send Accept: application/vnd.a and in return will get the Content-Type: application/vnd.a back in the response header and B sends application/vnd.b and is going to get application/vnd.b back.

but I get NoTransformationFoundException: ByteBufferChannel => Serializable data class.

if I understand the question correctly, you can create a copy of the http client, and reconfigure it (this new client will reuse the same underlying engine.) Something along the lines of:

val apiAClient = myHttpClient.config {
    Json { acceptContentTypes = acceptContentTypes + ContentType.parse("application/vnd.a") }
}

Seems a bit boilerplaty to copy an instance of the httpclient for every separate api call we make
