Ktor Android Retry Policy

Question

How can I configure a custom retry policy for an Android Ktor Client?

My client instantiation code:

private var client: HttpClient = HttpClient(Android) {
    install(JsonFeature) {
        serializer = KotlinxSerializer()
    }
}

Thanks in advance!

Based on Aleksei's comment, here is a solution:

private var client: HttpClient = HttpClient(Android) {
        install(ContentNegotiation) {
            json()
        }
        //ktor.io/docs/eap/client-retry.html for more options
        install(HttpRequestRetry) {
            maxRetries = 25
            constantDelay(2000, 1000)
        }
    }

Important: work's only for Ktor 2.0.0 or above.
