hello, I have a question about client error handling. if i call request<HttpResponse> I can check for status and other things in order to do my own error handling, but then i can't leverage the built in Json deserialization of my object. but if i call request<MyObject> in order to get the deserialization, it is not clear how to check and handle errors. I am looking for something like Fuel's `Result.fold`:

inline fun <X> fold(success: (V) -> X, failure: (E) -> X): X = when (this) {
        is Success -> success(this.value)
        is Failure -> failure(this.error)
    }

. is there something like this in ktor?

If you use HttpResponse you can use receive() to automatically deserialize json.
