hello,

i use a ktor client and i currently try to supply a base URL using the DefaultRequest plugin as described here:
https://ktor.io/docs/default-request.html#configure

i tried suppling the URL as complete string:

defaultRequest {
    url("<https://ktor.io/docs/>")
}

and also tried setting the URL parameters by myself:

url {
    protocol = URLProtocol.HTTPS
    host = "<http://ktor.io|ktor.io>"
    path("docs/")
}

the base URL i try to set is:

<https://api.ws.sonos.com/control/api/v1>

during debugging, the plugin shows the correct URL including all path segments. ✅
but the GET request is executed without the path segments. ⛔

i receive this response (path is missing):

You don't have permission to access "http://api.ws.sonos.com/households" on this server.

for request:

httpClient.get("/households")

am i doing something wrong? is this a known issue?

btw. my token is valid. when i pass the whole URL to GET request, the request works.

updating from ktor 2.0.0 to 2.1.2 did not solve it.

i found the mistake that i made! 🎉

the base url has to end with a `/`:

<https://api.ws.sonos.com/control/api/v1/>

and then this request will be successful:

httpClient.get("households")

🤷‍♂️
