How do you configure timeouts on the ktor http client?

[cy]

You can setup timeouts in client's config or use standard corountine's function withTimeout(...) { }

[ribesg]

What client config?

[ribesg]

I don't see how I can pass a ApacheEngineConfig to HttpClient

[cy]

val client = HttpClient(Apache.config { 
            connectTimeout = ...
            connectTimeout = ...
            connectionRequestTimeout = ...
        })

Thanks

[cy]

// cc @Deactivated User it would be nice to mention it in the docs

[ribesg]

IDEA does not autocomplete Apache with .config so there is no chance to discover this without docs

[Deactivated User]

Sure, @cy already in the preliminary documentation (not merged yet)

[cy]

@ribesg it does, you just need to include ktor-client-apache to get it working

[Deactivated User]

Gael, have you tried this. to see the available properties/methods? Or was a matter of discovering Apache.config itself?

[ribesg]

No, IDEA does not suggest .config after typing Apache

[ribesg]

Oh, it does if I write it somewhere else

[cy]

Perhaps it does but it is not in the top and not bold so it's not so easy to pay attention to it

[cy]

Or may be it wasn't work with older kotlin plugins (?)

The page about the HttpClient is now live: http://ktor.io/clients/http-client.html

And you can find information about Engine.config here: http://ktor.io/clients/http-client.html#engines

Ping me if you find something that is missing, incomplete or that is hard to understand.
