so far i solved the problem by using this manually created "wininet.def" 
file:

  LIBRARY wininet
  EXPORTS
   _InternetReadFile at 16=InternetReadFile
   _InternetCloseHandle at 4=InternetCloseHandle
   _HttpQueryInfoA at 20=HttpQueryInfoA
   _HttpSendRequestA at 20=HttpSendRequestA
   _HttpOpenRequestA at 32=HttpOpenRequestA
   _InternetConnectA at 32=InternetConnectA
   _InternetCrackUrlA at 16=InternetCrackUrlA
   _InternetOpenA at 20=InternetOpenA

seems that my idea of using D to write a simple windows utility was very 
wrong. ok, another attempt to use D for our windows developement has 
failed. i'm in no way can sell manual ".def" creation to our team -- they 
will make fun of me, showing how their Visual C can compile this code 
without any troubles and external utilities...
