Hello,

"utf-8" (or "UTF-8") is required instead of "utf8" - explain, 
please.

Anyway this code works as expected:

import requests;
import std.stdio;
import std.format;

void main() {
     auto rq = Request();
     auto rs = rq.get("https://yobit.net/api/3/ticker/btc_usd");
     writeln(rs.responseBody);
}

output:

{"btc_usd":{"high":7216.09463851,"low":6950,"avg":7083.04731925,"vol":753989.73116823,"vol_cur":105.94453165,"last":7114,"buy":7114.00000000,"sell":7135.19110000,"updated":1523170067}}
