02/08/2022, 1:43 AMHello, is it possible to use both Compose and ktor-client-curl in the same project? It seems to use ktor-client-curl you need to target native desktop, but the Compose Desktop template in Intellij seems to only target the JVM platform.

02/08/2022, 10:23 AMWell, I need ktor to send an API to a flask REST API on my desktop, and the docs seem to indicate you need ktor-curl

02/08/2022, 10:24 AMOk, flask is irrelevant is this case as it's just an implementation detail of your HTTP server. Any client engine will do. The docs are a bit misleading as they refer only to native desktop platforms as desktop, but jvm can also be treated as desktop platform (not just server).

02/08/2022, 10:25 AMHope that makes sense. All "server", "java" or "jvm" platform docs for ktor-client should apply to your compose desktop app.
