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"

[bitkid]

works with

[bitkid]

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

[Dominaezzz]

Try setting body to TextContent

[Dominaezzz]

Yup

[bitkid]

hehe thx

[bitkid]

i am using HttpClient(CIO)

[bitkid]

at one point i am getting the exception

[bitkid]

Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: Address already in use: no further information

[bitkid]

@Dominaezzz any ideas whats happening there?

[Dominaezzz]

That's unusual for a client I think.

[Dominaezzz]

You're not doing any server stuff?

[bitkid]

i am doing 30k calls in a short time

[bitkid]

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()
            }
        }

[bitkid]

it never succeeds

[Dominaezzz]

Hmm, might be a bug in CIO. Have you tried Apache?

[bitkid]

no .. trying it now. is apache the most stable one?

[Dominaezzz]

It's a stable one with the most config.

[Dominaezzz]

Only CIO is experimental.

[bitkid]

works with the apache client

[bitkid]

same code

[Dominaezzz]

Yeah, make a big report when you can.

[bitkid]

i will
