Hi @nilsmagnus. Thanks for the report. As mentioned above, the feature Auth with basic provider is a common preferred way instead of BasicAuth.

There is no metadata for JVM artifacts for now, and the artifact ktor-client-auth-jvm should be used.

Has ktor been abandoned? To a brand-new user, seems like some very basic stuff is wrong. I just tried to use the intellij plugin and the code it produces doesn’t even compile due to this problem.
