i ended up using ktor-client recently since i was doing multiplatform stuff
just wish the thing had a nicer API like fuel, also websockets are slightly confusing

[Marcin Wisniowski]

I only need one network request in a server that otherwise is full ktor, so I wanted to use ktor-client just to keep it 100% ktor. Had to move to Fuel just for the one request because ktor-client doesn't let you specify the POST request body encoding...

[Nikky]

what kind of specific encoding do you need the body to be ?

[Nikky]

in ktor this should work

body = object: ByteArrayContent {
    override val contentLength = TODO()
    override fun bytes() = TODO()
}

and then set whatever header for the encoding
