When (accidentally) using the wrong username/password for BasicAuth in the io.ktor:ktor-client-auth plugin, the exception that gets thrown is a SendCountExceedException because the engine just tries sending again and again until the treshold is reached/surpassed. How can I change this behaviour so that upon encountering a 401 response code a more "proper" error (along the lines of "AuthenticationFailedException") is thrown?
