A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi! Just found out about the use-extension (have no idea how I’ve missed that before) and I was wondering if there’s any reason why this is not used by default in the ktor-client? I.e. wouldn’t an auto close feature make a nicer api?

The reason why I am asking is that we had a memory leak which was a result of us not closing the response and I was thinking that this might be the case for others as well

But ktor based on coroutines and coroutines provide cancellation out of the box and it much more powerful than closable.
Could you show code that caused leak

<@U0BRK9HC5> sure thing, I should be able to find the thread were I got help
