Hi, I try to apply the new Raise functionality to some new code. Does this look like a correct way to use it? Trying to instantiate HttpClient and WsHttpClient in a safe way using either, catch and Raise DSL. Any feedback is appreciated.

Which `HttpClient` are you using? Typically you need to call some finalisers after you're done working with them. I often use `ResourceScope` for this.

You can still combine it with `Either` as well. Here I am doing so for a `Postgres` driver. <https://github.com/nomisRev/ktor-k8s-zero-downtime/blob/33739b6cb4db1661aa3c8f7b7293de5c80246994/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/fortysevendegrees/env/postgres.kt#L11|https://github.com/nomisRev/ktor-k8s-zero-downtime/blob/33739b6cb4db1661aa3c8f7b72[…]994/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/fortysevendegrees/env/postgres.kt>

Here I consume the code combining `either` with `resourceScope`.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I'm using Jetty. Yes I had `ResourceScope` and `SuspendApp` in mind as well, I thought to apply that later but I may need to already think about how to structure that in a dependent way. Your examples look very nice, will try to base it on that.

My pleasure. Be sure to ask any question if you encounter anything weird, or have any doubts.
