when running the example in the std.net.curl on my windows, got

std.net.curl.CurlException@std\net\curl.d(4239): Failed to load

does it mean i don't have those dll files? thx.
A libcurl.dll comes with the installer. It can be found by your
program if it's located in the same folder as the executable or
if the %PATH% environment variable contains the directory where
the installer puts the DLL in.
You may find this path in the environment variable but it has to
match 32/64bit. If your 64bit program tries to load the 32bit
variant it will fail to load.
It's likely that your %PATH% environment variable contains the
32bit path (eg. for DMD `C:\install-dir\dmd2\windows\bin` but not
the path to `\bin64`.
So you have to adjust the environment variable or copy the DLL
from this path to your program executable.
