I just wanted to get the contents of a smiple html page using
std.net.curl (on Windows)
So I did (exactly like in the library documentation example)
string contents = get("dlang.org");
But this won't even compile, not with dmd 2.062 and not with 2.063
main.d(8): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (get("dlang.org",
AutoProtocol())) of type char[] to string
C:\digital-mars\dmd2-63\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\range.d(611):
Error: static assert "Cannot put a const(dchar)
into a Appender!(char[])"

instantiated from here: get!(FTP, char)
main.d(8):

Are the exampels not tested? What is wrong here?
Kind Regards
