Hi, everyone, I have a simple request code :

protected fun sendGetRequest(requestBody:Any = EmptyContent,
                                  parameters:List<Pair<String, String>> = emptyList(),
                                  requestHeaders:List<Pair<String, String>> = emptyList()) {
        GlobalScope.launch(CoroutineContextProvider.provideContext()) {
            try {
                val call = client.request<HttpResponse> {
                    url{
                        protocol = URLProtocol.HTTP
                        //port = serverPort
                        host = serverAddress
                        encodedPath = requestEncodedPath
                    }
                    method = HttpMethod.Get
                    body = requestBody
                    for (currentPair:Pair<String, String> in requestHeaders) {
                        headers.append(currentPair.first, currentPair.second)
                    }
                    for (currentPair:Pair<String, String> in parameters) {
                        parameter(currentPair.first, currentPair.second)
                    }
                }
                requestResponseHandler(call, call.readText())
            } catch (requestException:Exception) {
                requestExceptionHandler(requestException)
            }
        }
    }

It’s get request. But when I call this function like this :

        val headers:MutableList<Pair<String, String>> = mutableListOf()
        headers.add(Pair("Authorization", "Bearer $token"))

        val body:ByteArrayContent = ByteArrayContent(fileBytes)
        sendGetRequest(requestBody = body, requestHeaders = headers)

I will get response like : Request method POST not supported. And in proxy logs I see that ktor really sending POST. If I will remove body from request - ktor will send get, but server will not accept this because it’s waiting parameters in body.

Could you also post platform-specific dependencies?

      sourceSets {
        commonMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-common'
                implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client:$ktor_version")
                implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-json:$ktor_version")
            }
        }
        commonTest {
            dependencies {
                implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-common'
                implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-annotations-common'
            }
        }
        androidMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib'
                implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-android:$ktor_version")
            }
        }
        androidTest {
            dependencies {
                implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test'
                implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-junit'
            }
        }
        iosMain {
            dependencies {
                implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-ios:$ktor_version")
            }
        }
        iosTest {
        }
    }
