You can name the files the same as their classes: 
HttpSocketConnectionRequest.d, etc.

I have a feeling I still don't understand the question because I've just 
tried it and it works the same in D. (Edit: Yes, it works the same but I 
finally understood the question below.)

Ok, that works.

So, you create the directory hierarchy net/http and put 
HttpSocketConnectionRequest.d in it. Ok.

Oh! Finally I see what you mean. So, this alreday works:

     auto h = new net
                  .http
                  .HttpSocketConnectionRequest
                  .HttpSocketConnectionRequest();

but you want this to work:

     auto h = new net
                  .http
                  .HttpSocketConnectionRequest();

(If so, why didn't say so? :) )

And you get the following error:

Error: module net.http.HttpSocketConnectionRequest is used as a type

Yeah, net.http.HttpSocketConnectionRequest is a module. :-/ I don't know 
a solution to this problem.
