hi how can i tell the http client to allow a string as body kotlinlang #ktor

hi! how can i tell the http client to allow a string as body when content-type = application/json? as soon as i set that header i get the exception "class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class io.ktor.client.call.HttpClientCall"

works with

body = TextContent("""{"name": "$it", "repository":"GE_VIENNA", "rows":10, "metaData": $meta}""", ContentType.Application.Json)

That's unusual for a client I think.

You're not doing any server stuff?

i am doing 30k calls in a short time

HttpClient(CIO).use { client ->
            metadata.keys.forEach {
                val meta = jackson.writeValueAsString(metadata.getValue(it))
                client.call {
                    url("$baseUrl/api/matrices/create")
                    method = <http://HttpMethod.Post|HttpMethod.Post>
                    body = TextContent("""{"name": "$it", "repository":"GE_VIENNA", "rows":10, "metaData": $meta}""", ContentType.Application.Json)
                }.close()
            }
        }

it never succeeds

It's a stable one with the most config.

Only

is experimental.
