There is an error on some sites when using HTTP-methods (std.net.curl.get, std.net.curl.post):
std.encoding.EncodingException@std/encoding.d(2505): Unrecognized Encoding: utf8

Is there a beautiful way around it?
For the GET-method I use the download() and readText(). But for the POST-method I can not come up with an alternative solution.

That's weird. std.net.curl should be able to handle UTF-8.
What content are you trying to download/post?
Maybe you can open a bug report for it?

In any case, you might want to checkout requests:

https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests

It's by far more convenient to use than std.net.curl

The problem is that "utf-8" (or "UTF-8") is required instead of "utf8".

I tried to get HTML and JSON. For example, this GET-query returns error:
"https://yobit.net/api/3/ticker/btc_usd"

Thank you for the advice

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}}

Thank you, I will use requests.
Function _decodeContent() in curl.d consists:

if (encoding == "UTF-8") return cast(char[])(content);
auto scheme = EncodingScheme.create(encoding);
enforce!CurlException(scheme !is null, format("Unknown encoding '%s'", encoding));

Encoding name (in std.encoding) is transferred to the lower case and matches are checked among the supported encoding names. There is "utf-8", but there is no "utf8" (without the hyphen).
