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

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.
Yes - basic http, smtp is easy. But have a look at the libcurl API docs
and think about how many lines it would take to implement that in D.
It seems it's one of those cases in which from proof of concept to bells
& whistles there's a long way.
