[Ktor-Client] Is there a way to get String version of Request Body even the body is supplied from Object and using JsonFeature?

I have need to get the body and create signature from it and send it as headers.

You could try:

val response = client.get<HttpResponse>(...)
// check the status and etc
response.receive<MyDataClass>()

[jasoet]

No, I mean when I want to send client request in the first place.

Something like this

For now my code only support String as Content-Type or when body is empty

If body is Object, It will be hard to know the exact String that sent to server

Basically, I want to intercept body after rendered by JsonFeature, and create header from that.

[e5l]

And you actually could insert interceptor after Json feature

[jasoet]

Let me try that

@e5l Could you direct me to Docs or Source related to Ktor Client Interceptor?

[e5l]

You could look into Json feature for the ‘requestPipeline’. Its the stuff related to the feature implementation: http://ktor.io/clients/http-client/features.html

[e5l]

So you could take a look on client features as the example

@e5l thanks

[e5l]

No problem. Feel free to ask if you have any questions

[jasoet]

@e5l Thanks a lot for your helps.
My Code is working fine and then I created Ktor Client features for Chef API Client Auth. Still need work for Readme and Test.

You can check here. Feedback are welcome 😄
