Is there a reason ktor clients don't return one of the companion objects for HttpStatusCode? It seems like the code just constructs a new one one that matches the status Int. I found this odd when I did a when switch on the status from HttpResponse and the status did not match HttpStatusCode.OK.

Hi @codyoss. The description field depends on real server response status line: some APIs transfer valuable information there so we can’t just ignore it.

Probably we could change HttpStatusCode.equals to match only int code, could you file an issue?

Sure that makes sense. Will do!
