Is there interest in a std.http?

No Content-Size, no multiple requests per connection (unless you 
use chunked encoding?).

I think this is pointless. Use an appender and the RFC limits. 
Unless you are serving VERY simple pages, the cost of a few 
allocations for handling the HTTP protocol's overhead will not be 
noticeable compared to the application's. (Slowloris is something 
to keep in mind, though.)

My HTTP library, which is used for this forum and several other 
"production" projects, is here: https://github.com/CyberShadow/ae
The main problem with getting it into Phobos is that it's tied to 
a lot of other related code, such as the asynchronous sockets 
module, the unmanaged memory wrapper type, etc.

Also, what about vibe.d?
