Hi, I am developing a client feature which retries the request in some cases. Which pipeline and phase best fit for an interceptor like this? For instance in the case of connection refused exception where should I handle it?

Hi @Cláudio Bartolomeu, consider intercepting HttpSend feature.

You can find the example here: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/68eef1948ce4c8c11dae794588f8d063afb67d0b/ktor-client/ktor-client-core/common/src/io/ktor/client/features/HttpRedirect.kt#L25

I've tried that suggestion, however the HttpSend feature only runs the interceptors after having a successful response from the DefaultSender. If the first sender.execute throws, the HttpSend interceptor terminates immediately.

@Felix did you find out a solution?
