Hi!

I’ve been fiddling around with Ktor and K/N on MacOS. I got other suspending functions which do work in the same app(called the same way as the following function), but this suspended function just hangs forever:

suspend fun getContent(): String {
    val client = HttpClient()
    return client.get<String>("<http://www.google.com>")
}

Any ideas on what might cause it?

I came across with the following similar issues, but I was not able to fix the issue of mine based on how the these issues had been solved:
- https://stackoverflow.com/q/56347516/1538877
- https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/678

All the help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Does iOS allow requests to http urls? cant remember.. but I remember an issue about a url that used http instead of https and we had to find an alternative

Thanks, I’ll give it a try! But I run it on MacOS and there Ktor uses the Curl engine.

I can finally confirm that changing the protocol did not help with this issue.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas what might cause request to hang ^^?

[Sergioedcigreja]

have you tried it with request?

[Sergioedcigreja]

client.request { method = HttpMethod.Get

I just tried, no changes in the behaviour

How the HttpClient looks on CLion, might be related. I do not know why it shows up red there, but no errors what so ever. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any ideas on why this would have happened?

This is known issue, everything is fine, it’s just confusing syntax highlighting

Yeah, I figured that it might be the case for the highlighting part. Thanks for confirming.

Other than that, the request is still hanging. So the original problem persists 😞
