The traditional way (ie C-like) would be ubyte[0] content; // zero-sized; use casts etc to access data. as the last member. D supports that too, and just like many other D features it works for ~80% of cases. IOW you should be able to get it to work, but you might run into problems if you need to access/manipulate such types. artur
