Is there a visual description of how the ktor client pipelines connect each other, to better know which pipeline I should intercept?

[ribesg]

For example, I would like to know what happens if I add an interceptor to the HttpRequestPipeline.Send phase. Would my interceptor run before or after the HttpSendPipeline? I mean, I know I can find that information from reading the source, but is there a more comprehensive documentation on how all of that works together?

[Dennis Schröder]

Maybe that helps?

Yeah I read that, but I was wondering if I could do what I want without adding phases. I don’t know, I feel like adding a phase just to intercept it once is “overkill”.

[Dennis Schröder]

Well I don't think you need your own phase. Just Intercept the call pipeline phase.

[ribesg]

That still doesn’t tell me if such interceptor would be called before or after the pipeline

[ribesg]

In the HttpRequestPipeline there’s this:``` /**
* Phase for [HttpSend] feature
*/
val Send = PipelinePhase("Send")```

[ribesg]

It doesn’t say how it works

[Dennis Schröder]

Can't you just test it?

[ribesg]

That would just be checking how it works right now, there’s no guarantee it’s not going to change.

[ribesg]

As far as I understand, the move from HttpRequestPipeline to HttpSendPipeline is done with the HttpSend feature, which intercepts HttpRequestPipeline.Send.

[ribesg]

If I add my own interceptor to HttpRequestPipeline.Send, I can’t know if it will be called before or after the one from HttpSend

[ribesg]

I think I’ll add phases.
