HttpClientEngineBase

abstract class HttpClientEngineBase : HttpClientEngine

Abstract implementation of HttpClientEngine responsible for lifecycle control of dispatcher and coroutineContext as well as proper call context management. Should be considered as the best parent class for custom HttpClientEngine implementations.
