I'm writing a D program that interacts with the Todoist API

create a new task.
This is a working bash script, where APIKEY is defined
elsewhere and $1 and $2 are user input when running the script:
```
curl "https://api.todoist.com/rest/v1/tasks"; -X POST --data
"{"'"'"content"'"'": "'"'"$1"'"'", "'"'"project_id"'"'": $2}"
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer
$APIKEY"
```
(For obvious reasons I'm not going to provide a working
example.) How can I translate this into a post function call
within D?

I haven't used it but isn't it the version of post that takes a
dictionary here?

If the Authorization is the problem, I wonder whether
addRequestHeader is the solution:

Authorization is working - it's the same whether I'm doing a GET
or POST request. The problem is passing the data. The main
problem is that the documentation doesn't explain how to
translate a `--data` option into a `post` call. I've tried
everything I can think of, including what's shown in the
documentation, but haven't found anything that works.
