title: How to make a HTTP/POST request in Kotlin (Android) to simple server?
body: <p>Hello I am trying to begin an Android app in Kotlin. I have been trying to find a way to simply send and receive data from an android app to a simple HTTP server I made on my computer. The idea I am hoping is just make an app with a text box on it and a send button. When I press the send button it sends it to the simple http server (whether I use IP address or URL isn't Important)</p>
  <p>This is just simply a proof of concept that I can make my own simple HTTP Server and get the app to send and receive from it.</p>
  <p>I am essentially trying to do a server-client architecture between an android app and a computer. I can get this concept to work between two computer applications (python, java, C++ etc) but not how to do it in android. I keep looking for other answers on here but still come up short.</p>
  <p>to be specific do I need enable certain features within the configurations file or a library that will allow the task to be done in the background?</p>
  <p>Thank you for your help in advance.</p>
