Hello sorry for noob question

suspend fun main () = coroutineScope {
    var counter = 1
    val client = HttpClient{}

    val response = client.get<HttpResponse>("<https://httpbin.org/get>")

    println(response.status)
}

If I defined the HttpClient like that code, is it mean I use CIO engine ?

Hi @davidasync, no. It means that you’re using the engine mentioned in the dependencies block of your build configuration.

What if I defined more than 1 engine at build.gradle? for example

compile "io.ktor:ktor-client-core:latest.release"
    compile "io.ktor:ktor-client-apache:latest.release"
    compile "io.ktor:ktor-client-jetty:latest.release"
    compile "io.ktor:ktor-client-okhttp:latest.release"
    compile "io.ktor:ktor-client-cio:latest.release"

It selects the first one in alphabetical order.

Ahh I see,
Thanks for the explanation
