I just had a quick look an this is not caused by the D interface. It's
the default behavior of libcurl if no explicit callback is set.

If desired we could add some code to the wrapper's initialize function
to automatically set this callback to a dummy function, but silently
dropping the data doesn't sound much better to me.

-------------
Set this option to NULL to get the internal default function. The
internal default function will write the data to the FILE * given with
CURLOPT_WRITEDATA.
-------------

-------------
The internal CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION will write the data to the FILE *
given with this option, or to stdout if this option hasn't been set.
