<@U7FA5SHKQ> can you debug the traffic and then reproduce with curl?

@utikeev can you debug the traffic and then reproduce with curl?

[utikeev]

Oh, well. It seems like my bad, as I forgot to open connection for the URL I'm using.

[dave]

which HTTP client are you using? You probably shouldn't be needing to open url connections unless you're writing an HTTP client!

[utikeev]

Well, I use Fuel in a string-extension way. It seems they use their own: https://github.com/kittinunf/Fuel/blob/master/fuel/src/main/kotlin/com/github/kittinunf/fuel/toolbox/HttpClient.kt

[utikeev]

Hm, if I use it object way like this:
<http://Fuel.post|Fuel.post>(url).[...] it works without opening the connection.

[utikeev]

Okay, not it works both ways I'm totally lost, because it seems to me as the code I had 2 hours ago not working in the same case 😅

@utikeev - Sounds like Fuel isn't properly tested/mature. At this point I would recommend going with OkHttp (http://square.github.io/okhttp/). If you have used Vert.x before then the vertx-web-client (http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-web-client/kotlin/) is another good option with solid Kotlin support.

[cedric]

Probably not worth pulling vert.x as a dependency for a simple HTTP call

[napperley]

Cedric - True unless vertx-core is used in the project, or the project relies on a server side project written using Vert.x.
