https://ktor.io/servers/calls/requests.html#get

use call.request.queryParameters.getAll("sort")

[Evan R.]

Assuming you mean receiving query parameters on the server

[Santosh Astagi]

yes, so if my request is like this:

[Santosh Astagi]

httpClient.get<String> {
  url(requestUrl)
  parameter("sort", sortOptions)
}

[Santosh Astagi]

How do I pass it to the HttpClient

[Santosh Astagi]

I am trying to make requests to the server

[Santosh Astagi]

not handling on server

Using this:

Does your above code not work, assuming sortOptions is a list?

[Santosh Astagi]

no

[Santosh Astagi]

Sets a single URL query parameter of [key] with a specific [value] if the value is not null. Can not be used to set form parameters in the body.

[Santosh Astagi]

That is the definition for

parameter

[Evan R.]

Got it. Just checked the API docs a little, try this:

httpClient.get<String> {
  url {
    takeFrom(requestUrl)
    parameters.appendAll("sort", sortOptions)
  }
}

[Santosh Astagi]

ok, giving it shot

[Santosh Astagi]

FWIW, I saw this too:

Unless you know something I don’t, I’m pretty sure Locations are used for receiving requests on the server side and aren’t used for the HTTP client

[Santosh Astagi]

oh you are right, that is a server side thing

[Santosh Astagi]

Can you point me to the documentation

[Evan R.]

https://api.ktor.io/1.2.4/io.ktor.client.request/get.html

[Santosh Astagi]

my takeFrom is expecting an HttpRequestBuilder

[Santosh Astagi]

not url

[Evan R.]

You need to make sure your takeFrom is inside the URL block so it uses URLBuilder.takeFrom rather than HttpRequestBuilder.takeFrom

[Evan R.]

If that doesn’t work try [e-mail]

[Santosh Astagi]

It worked

[Santosh Astagi]

Thanks a ton

[Santosh Astagi]

You were right again, I was using the wrong takeFrom
