           Summary: [std.net.curl]Can't run examples on page. cannot
                    implicitly convert expression ... `char[]` to `string`

import std.net.curl;
// Two requests below will do the same.
string content;

// Explicit connection provided
content = get!HTTP("dlang.org");

// Guess connection type by looking at the URL
content = get!AutoProtocol("ftp://foo.com/file");
// and since AutoProtocol is default this is the same as
content = get("ftp://foo.com/file");
// and will end up detecting FTP from the url and be the same as
content = get!FTP("ftp://foo.com/file");


get's output fails to convert to strings.
