I've written a small module that opens a network connection, then wraps it in
the File struct, allowing you to use the byLine, etc., ranges on it, as well as
writef/readln/etc.

It is Linux only, but should be pretty easy to port to other operating systems.
Ideally, I'd like to eventually be able to use File for talking
to processes too, on all D platforms. 

Here's the code I have for now:

==============



public import std.stdio;
import std.string;

import std.conv;

version(linux):

import std.c.linux.linux;
import std.c.linux.socket;

alias std.c.linux.socket sock;
alias std.c.linux.linux linux;

enum int PF_INET = 2;
enum int AF_INET = PF_INET;

extern(C) FILE* fdopen(int, const(char)*);

File openNetwork(string host, ushort port) {
    hostent* h;
    sockaddr_in addr;

    h = gethostbyname(std.string.toStringz(host));
    if(h is null)
        throw new StdioException("gethostbyname");

    int s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if(s == -1)
        throw new StdioException("socket");

    scope(failure)
        close(s);

    addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    addr.sin_port = htons(port);
    std.c.string.memcpy(&addr.sin_addr.s_addr, h.h_addr, h.h_length);

    if(sock.connect(s, cast(sockaddr*) &addr, addr.sizeof) == -1)
        throw new StdioException("Connect failed");

    FILE* fp = fdopen(s, "w+".ptr);

    File f;

    auto imp = new File.Impl(fp, 1, host ~ ":" ~ to!string(port));

    f.p = imp;

    return f;
}
