Hello, I'm interested to know, is there any reason why

netty

not included to ktor http client engine ?

Hi @davidasync; There are no reasons. PR’s are always welcome 🙂

Well, IMHO the reason is that it is relatively difficult to implement a production quality client over Netty that does support everything we need. I'd say much more difficult than over apache or anything else. The only exception is CIO that is really complex.
