How can I use kohttp for this specific curl command?

[elect86]

I'd like to replace the usage of crude shell commands with a nice library, and kohttp looks quite promising

One example I'm testing against, it's from gradle kts exec{}:

commandLine("curl", "-X", "GET", "-H", "Authorization: token $token", "https://api.github.com/repos/kotlin-graphics/mary/contents/$path")

I tried to port that over to kohttp

    val response = httpGet {
        host = "https://api.github.com/repos/kotlin-graphics/mary/contents/$path"
        header {
            "-H" to "Authorization: token $token"
        }
    }

But unfortunately, all I get is:

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':publishToGithub'. unexpected host: https://api.github.com/repos/kotlin-graphics/mary/contents/mattei.txt

What am I doing wrong?

Ps: sorry for asking this here if this is not the right place to
