I just opened an issue to ask for an improvement of the JS filesize when Ktor is used as a simple Http Client:

I've received an e-mail with this: "On 25 Sep 2020 14:21, Ivan Kubyshkin moved an issue to a project in which you don't have permission to read issues."

That looks like a mistake, then. I’ve pinged some folks who should be able to turn it public again. :slightly_smiling_face:

it can stay hidden if it will be fixed faster :wink:

Issue is public again – you got my vote! :white_check_mark::smile:

The issue is actually good. I like ktor API. The size is not that important for me since my other dependencies (plotly, threejs) are huge, but still it bothers me that ktor-client increases the size that much.

<@U5F0TT0UX> I think I can help you with bundle size (via plugin) if `plotly` and/or `threejs` are ES6 libraries.

<@U33H6SB2B> Thanks. Plotly does not support ES6, Threejs recently started to support this option, but I never tried it. What plugin are you talking about?

By default `threejs` will be included fully in your bundle, because ES modules still not supported by Kotlin/JS.

Solution - filter `threejs` imports via plugin.
You can copy <https://github.com/turansky/yfiles-kotlin/blob/adc539bd9401f893373ad5f7275dc04dc25786d0/gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/github/turansky/yfiles/gradle/plugin/ImportOptimizePlugin.kt|my plugin> and adopt it for `threejs`.
Also you can find <https://github.com/turansky/yfiles-kotlin/tree/aef1f89e79ad42eba3c1491f39daf46598238e16/examples/import-optimizer-application|example project>.

Thanks, it is not critical for me at the moment, but I will try it later.
