if I have jackson support installed, can i use it only for replies, but still set the post body of my request as normal string or byte array? also I have logging installed but it does not seem to log my outgoing requests and post bodies

Hi @christophsturm, the post body is not logged, it's known issue and it fixed in master . It will be available in the next release.

I’m getting a io.ktor.client.features.ClientRequestException: Client request(....) invalid: 400 Bad Request

[christophsturm]

it would be useful to have the post body also in the error message, and even more useful to have the body of the 400 reply

[e5l]

Could you try to get response from the exception and receive body there?

[christophsturm]

thanks will try that!

[e5l]

Btw you can also disable converting 400 to exception by disabling expectSuccess flag: https://api.ktor.io/1.3.2/io.ktor.client/-http-client-config/index.html
It can be useful for debug.

[christophsturm]

sadly the exception does not contain the response (its a parameter but not a val)

[christophsturm]

i think the coolest long term solution would be to have the error message contain both bodies in case of bad request.

https://api.ktor.io/1.3.2/io.ktor.client.features/-client-request-exception/index.html

[e5l]

it has inherited response property, it should work

[christophsturm]

ah its inherited, sorry

[christophsturm]

was confused from the source

[christophsturm]

does https://bintray.com/kotlin/ktor/ktor contain master builds? i see only the build for the kotlin eap there.

My two cents: for logging response and request bodies, I use this self-written code: https://github.com/SerVB/e-shop/blob/master/server-util/src/main/kotlin/io/github/servb/eShop/util/Logging.kt . I've asked the same question but there is no answer https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0A974TJ9/p1585379574052900
