On using ktor client and getting 409 I get ClientRequestException on attempt to read a body with response.readText(). On the other hand it is official recommendation for 409 response to get payload. How to get the payload with ktor?

You can set expectSuccess to false in HttpClient or catch the exception and get the payload from it.
