A pure D solution: https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests

(though I think it doesn't support everything on your list yet)

Another pure D solution is Vibe.d - have a look at 
http://vibed.org/api/vibe.core.net/listenTCP

While Phobos's high-level wrapper std.net.curl probably don't 
provide what you are looking for, the low-level curl might:

You would need to manually wrap the curl calls into an 
asynchronous handler though there are quite a few eventloop 
implementations on the dub registry.
