Does anyone have an up to date example of using form auth in ktor? The docs are so sparse...

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Please have a look at this article in the documentation.

In this article the server simply does call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized).
How do I actually authenticate the client instead of just returning 401?
Where is the 'form' part of this form auth?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

You can find the configuration for a form authentication here. Also, there is a complete sample project.

Aha, the sample project helps a lot, thanks! I got mixed up with all of the different endpoints I need.
