I have a problem using the Ktor HttpClient library because I can't see all the body content that is being truncated, but I can see them in OkHttp client library through HttpLoggingInterceptor. I am making a simple get request to this URL: /$param/repos (param must be GitHub user name. burakggs)

Solution: I found a answer in MariusVolkhart's answer from How to log requests in ktor http client?. I changed my configuration and replaced engine to OkHttp. But I think if I decided to use different engines for KMM I would run into same truncated json response body problem.

@Provides
@Singleton
fun provideHttpClient(): HttpClient {
    return HttpClient(OkHttp) {
        engine {
            val loggingInterceptor = HttpLoggingInterceptor()
            loggingInterceptor.level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY
            addInterceptor(loggingInterceptor)
            config {

            }
        }

    }
}

Sorted by: Reset to default 1

This is a bug in the default implementation of the Logging plugin. As a workaround, you can use the OkHttp logging format:

install(Logging) {
    format = LoggingFormat.OkHttp
    logger = AndroidLogger("ktor-logger")
    level = LogLevel.BODY
}

UPD: The problem with truncation is caused by the Logcat itself which has a limit for a message size for both binary and non-binary logs of ~4076 bytes. See this answer for more information.
