I agree. That is why I put it into etc.curl initially and not std.curl. 
Then when a package manager is in place (think CPAN) the entire etc.* 
could be pulled out. But until then it is a nice place to have it I think.

Anyway - it seems there are several people who wants it in std for now. 
I guess it wouldn't be that bad to move it out of std again at some 
point when a native http/ftp is implemented.
