with ktor, are we able to access the response body at all if we use a serialized class as the response type?

[Jens Baitinger]

I hope you dont use java serialisation (which is a security problem)

[darkmoon_uk]

serialized with a small 's'. 🙂

You could get response first:

val response = client.get<HttpResponse>(...)

and then receive from it:

response.receive<MyData>()

Thank you, will try it, although, does Ktor throw on any error?

[e5l]

It can, depends on your case.

[andrew]

Http errors it will throw on, yes?

[andrew]

If I wanted to handle those on my own, how would I do it?
