I was assuming curl's output was what was sent.

Hi!

std.net.curl.get() throws an exception in this case. But I

How can I do that?

It seems you can't, that simple get wrapper is very limited.
Better create you own get function, example:
import std;
ushort get(string url, ref ubyte[] content)
{
auto cont = appender();
auto http = HTTP();
http.method = HTTP.Method.get;
http.url = url;
http.onReceive = (ubyte[] data)
{
cont ~= data;
return data.length;
};
HTTP.StatusLine status;
http.onReceiveStatusLine = (HTTP.StatusLine s) { status = s;
};
http.perform();
return status.code;
}
void main()
{
ubyte[] data;
auto scode = get("http://dlang.org/asdf;, data);
if (scode == 404)
{
// data has the body
...
}

If anything is wrong, the server I'm interested in tends to
reply with a status code 500 and a generic status line text and
a bloated XML body containing the actual error message.
Not that it answers your question but requests[1] can do this, if
you don't mind adding some dependencies.
Request req;
Response res = req.get(urlRespondingWith500);
assert(res.code == 500);
writeln(res.responseBody); // Buffer!ubyte; use .to!string to
get a string
When testing to confirm I ran into a bug[2] where the body is
sometimes empty, but outside of fringe cases it should work.

Hi Gregor,
If I am not completely wrong, the exception has an attribute
"msg" which should contain the body of the http response.
Kind regards
André
