Am I misunderstanding HttpClient#config? I expected that it would be equivalent to adding the given block to the end of the original config block, but it instead it overwrites it

what are you trying to do?

Have you noticed the HttpClientConfig#engine?

[octylFractal]

I used install to add some features/interceptors, and I wanted to create another copy with those same features + additional custom interceptors

[Deactivated User]

aha

[octylFractal]

it doesn't work since the pipelines aren't copied over, but I don't know if that's intended or a bug

[Deactivated User]

indeed, it seems that there is a bug, since the documentation states that it should copy the configuration

[Deactivated User]

fun config(block: HttpClientConfig<*>.() -> Unit): HttpClient = HttpClient(
        engine, useDefaultTransformers, HttpClientConfig<HttpClientEngineConfig>().apply(block)
    )

[Deactivated User]

should probably be:

fun config(block: HttpClientConfig<*>.() -> Unit): HttpClient = HttpClient(
        engine, useDefaultTransformers, config.clone().apply(block)
    )

[octylFractal]

alright, should I file an issue / make a PR for this?

[Deactivated User]

if you can, that would be nice, yeah 🙂 if you make a PR, please ensure to add a test that verifies the new behaviour

[octylFractal]

I can do that, thanks for confirming the bug
