Meh, doing the http and smtp stuff isn't rocket science. I did a 
little http library in ~300 lines on my github that some D 
programmers who don't want curl use. Uses openssl for https. curl 
isn't exactly bug free either - I found one a few weeks ago on a 
random stack overflow question about php!

That said, I think curl is ok, we should just bundle it with 
phobos better.
