For a `HttpClient` provided by ktor - can it be used as a singleton or should new requests made with different instances ?

We currently have a `kodein` configuration to use a singleton `bind&lt;HttpClient&gt;() with singleton { HttpClient(OkHttp) }`, but are also confronted with a memory leak in our app and I currently suspect the HttpClient :thinking_face:

Hi <@UAYV36JMA>, you can create multiple clients if you want to, but you also can use single

Alright, then it might be a different issue within the project :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for the quick heads up.

is the `HttpResponse.close` method called automatically or is it my responsibility to do so at some part of the code execution?

You should call `close` manually or  with `response.use { }` method
