HttpClientEngineBase

Abstract base implementation of HttpClientEngine, providing lifecycle management for the dispatcher and coroutineContext, as well as proper handling of call contexts.

This class is designed to simplify the creation of custom HttpClientEngine implementations by handling common functionality such as:

• Managing the dispatcher for I/O operations.

• Setting up a structured coroutineContext with a custom name for easier debugging.

• Ensuring proper resource cleanup when the engine is closed.

Developers creating custom HTTP client engines are encouraged to use this class as their parent, as it handles much of the boilerplate related to engine lifecycle and coroutine management.

Parameters

class MyCustomHttpClientEngine : HttpClientEngineBase("MyCustomEngine") {
    override suspend fun execute(data: HttpRequestData): HttpResponseData {
        // Implementation of request execution
    }
}
