Timeouts, Logging & Base URLs

Configure the HttpClient for production use.

Configure for Production

A real client needs configuration: timeouts so it never hangs, logging to debug, and a base URL to stay tidy.

Install Features as Plugins

You add behavior to the client using plugins, configured in the HttpClient builder block once for all requests.

val client = HttpClient { /* install plugins */ }
