The second issue is an exception inside of ktor when I try to work with HttpClient:

kotlin.ClassCastException: null cannot be cast to io.ktor.client.call.HttpClientCall

I’ve read earlier in this channel that it can be related to the version of Kotlin that I’m using (1.3.11), but the problem is, I cannot switch to 1.3.10 easily, because if I do, then it starts complaining about platform.CoreCrypto not being available.

Does anyone know for sure that this error is related to Kotlin version or something else?

How I use HttpClient is very simple:

suspend fun <T> send(message: MessageStrategy<T>): MessageResult<T> {

        val request = message.buildRequest()
        val token = session.state.sessionKey
        ...

        val call = client.call(session.host) {
            method = <http://HttpMethod.Post|HttpMethod.Post>
            body = {
                val encodedMessage = request.record.encode()
                val bytes = ByteArray(encodedMessage.size) { encodedMessage[it].toByte() }
                ByteArrayContent(bytes)
            }
        }

        ...
        return ...
    }
}

Don't remember where I saw this, but there was some bug in ktor 1.0.1, maybe 1.0.0 will work for you.

Switching to 1.0.0 was helpful on the one side, but I guess I still have to go to 1.3.10, as was adivsed to other people, because in the case of the simplest call I get that “frozen object exception”.

[nestserau]

I understood my mistake. I formed the request incorrectly. Now that I’ve fixed it, I don’t get that cast exception anymore.
