can I configure websocket client ping periods and timeouts?
websocket client described here https://ktor.io/clients/websockets.html

To use this feature, you need to include io.ktor:ktor-client-websocket artifact.

I think it is not possible in 0.9.2 (at least not while installing it), but let’s confirm it.

^^ @e5l is it possible to configure them?

EDIT: It is possible. Going to update the sample from the page:

val ws = client.webSocketSession(method = HttpMethod.Get, host = "127.0.0.1", port = 8080, path = "/route/path/to/ws")
try {
    ws.pingInterval = Duration.ofMinutes(1)
    ws.send(Frame.Text("Hello World"))
} finally {
    ws.close()
}

or

val client: HttpClient = HttpClient(...)
<http://client.ws|client.ws>(method = HttpMethod.Get, host = "127.0.0.1", port = 8080, path = "/route/path/to/ws") { // this: WebSocketSession
    (this as DefaultWebSocketSession).pingInterval = Duration.ofMinutes(1)
}

This small inconvenience will be addressed soon
