simple question. With ktor-oauth, does HttpClient need to be

Apache

? It doesn't seem to want to accept

Tomcat

, but I don't want to run two applications servers just to use oauth.

It looks like your

HttpClient

isn’t an instance of

HttpClientEngine

. Do you need to create a wrapper class or something?

Tomcat is a built in ktor servlet, in

ktor-server-tomcat

. I didn't create it. I just wanted to confirm that I'd need to add apache as a dependency, even though I already have tomcat.

Yeah, I’m not sure - someone else might be able to answer. But to me, this doesn’t necessarily look like the problem is you haven’t added Apache. The problem is your HttpClient doesn’t extend HttpClientEngine, which is what the OAuth configuration is expecting.

yeah I understand that.

What is

Tomcat

in

HttpClient(Tomcat)

?

Tomcat is a server engine. You'd want to use one of the client engines: https://ktor.io/clients/http-client/engines.html
