I'm working with std.net.curl. Using curl on the command line I can do this:

    curl -T file.txt http://localhost:9998/tika

and it returns text as a result.

When I attempt to do the same thing in D code as follows:

    import std.net.curl;
    upload("file.txt", "http://localhost:9998/tika");

the text is written to standard out.

I want to capture that text in a variable, but the upload function returns void. How can I get the text returned by the web server to be stored in a variable?

import std;

auto updata = read("inputfile");
auto dldata = put("https://postman-echo.com/put", updata);
writeln(dldata);

Awesome, thank you! That's exactly what I needed.
