It's already in Phobos as part of std.net.curl.  It's just not very usable
on Windows yet.

Curl has a phobos friendly license and implementing it in D is a fairly
large undertaking (just look at the size of curl).  Nothing is stopping
anyone from doing a pure D networking client module, of course.  Using curl
was just a very quick way of getting this functionality into Phobos.
