If you expected http client to be in the standard library - you 
expected too much. C/C++/Rust do not have it either for a reason 
- it would expand the standard library too much (assuming it 
covers everything).

Whenever I had to do http requests I used the excellent 
dlang-requests library ( https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests 
). It was a natural choice as I do Python programming on a daily 
basis... dlang-requests is in my top 10 list of all D packages 
just like Python `requests` package is in my top 10 Python 
packages. Highly recommended.
