Ktor with Android client throws IllegalStateException - responseMessage must not be null

See original GitHub issue

Ktor Version and Engine Used (client or server and name) Version 1.3.1 of Ktor client with Android module

Describe the bug When I do a get request I am getting Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: connection.responseMessage must not be null

To Reproduce

Running with Java 11, with maven, kotlin stdlib and org.jetbrains.kotlin maven plugin.

import io.ktor.client.HttpClient
import io.ktor.client.engine.android.Android
import io.ktor.client.request.get
import io.ktor.client.statement.HttpResponse
import io.ktor.utils.io.readUTF8Line
import kotlinx.coroutines.runBlocking

fun main() {

    runBlocking {
        val response: HttpResponse = HttpClient(Android).get("http://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random")

        print(response.status.value)
        print(response.content.readUTF8Line())
    }

}

Expected behavior I would expect it should print the status code and response message, but it doesn’t reach at that point.

Hi @rolfwessels

This bug has been fixed but not available yet. The latest release is from March 2020 while the bug has been fixed at May 2020. They still need to release a new version of the library including the bug fix.

Hi @e5l, any idea when the next release will be made?
