When I use ktor http client I want to read a message that comes with an unsuccessful response status, like 500, but when I call

response.receive<String>()

it throws with BadResponseStatusException. I kinda understand the reason for that, but how do I read a message that comes with bad response?

Hi @Dias. You could disable

expectSuccess

in client config.

ah! that's what I was looking for, thank you, I wonder if it should be default behaviour tho
