Really struggling to get the Android client (uses Ktor Client) to obtain data (via a HTTP POST) from the server (uses Ktor Server) without the client showing a timeout or connection reset. The average size of the response body (JSON data) that the client should receive is around 1.3 MB (works using Postman). Is there a way to buffer the response body? Is compression enabled by default with Ktor Server?

Managed to resolve the issue by enabling Gzip compression on the server end. Still have very long response times (around 1 min) which only occur if a request is made by the Android client. Very strange since the response times (around 1300 ms with the body containing about 500 items) are much quicker with a request made by the CLI client (uses Ktor CIO client) or Postman.

Hi @napperley, could you provide the example?

Unfortunately the sub projects (Server, Android client, CLI client) are part of a big commercial project.
