Hi guys, whenever I use HttpRequestBuilder and try to specify ContentType(ContentType.Application.Json) I get Header Content-Type is controlled by the engine and cannot be set explicitly. I’ve tried adding defaultRequest { ContentType } into the HttpClient { } but I still get the same error. How would I go about setting the content type?

Hi @rodrigo, what version of ktor do you use?

[rodrigo]

@e5l version 1.1.3

You could specify ContentType in request body using OutgongContent subtype.

Also, you could use JsonFeature and it does it for you.
