Hi all,
We are using kotlin with ktor server side.
and We are using
```io.ktor.client.HttpClient```
To make http calls between microservices and third parties for example:
When the http call succeeded the httpResponse maps automatically to my Object,
but when there is error in the http call and it failed, I expect the client will throw an exception with the satatus code 40X 50X,  and it's not.
I need to check manually what is the status code, and decide what to do.
Am I using it wrong? Do you have another client to use?

I'd say it is quite common behavior as getting unusual http code is not always an exceptional situation. So plenty of http clients do the same

you need to set the `expectSuccess` property in the client creation :

<@U02QSFBVC95> I understand but we want to make our lives easier and use something already done by someone and not implement it again :slightly_smiling_face:
