D simple web server

[gedaiu]

Thanks for reply,

@Adam D. Ruppe I ignored your collection of tools but is not very 
good documented...

@Rémy Mouëza When I started my project, I wanted to use mongoose 
but there where no bindings for D at that time, so I decided to 
use a simpler web server, libmicrohttpd, but it was not the best 
solution because my server where crashing all the time, so I 
decided to create one from scratch in D.

I made an update to the code and I added the option to initialize 
the terver using delegates.

Thanks,
Bogdan
