The problem is that "long ago" adding libcurl seemed like a

didn't (and we don't) have anything to replace it.
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.
