Hi!
I have the error message:
source/url.cache.d(20,16): Error: function
url.Cache.UrlCache.doRequest has no return statement, but is
expected to return a value of type string
Inserting dummy return statement doesn't help. final switch /
switch with default - no matter.
As I understand compiler must detect when end of function is
unreachable (and in fact it detects it - see comment about return
""; line) and do not try to check for return value. Is this my or
compiler's error here?
