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 */ }All lessons in this course
