Hello everyone,
Python has a library named urllib which can be found at

Does Phobos have anything similar to this library? All I need is
fetching data from a web site.
Anyone has any idea on this matter?
I don't think there is anything usable in Phobos at the moment. However,
several people have written bindings for libCURL, which will do what you
need.
I've got one here:
http://github.com/gmfawcett/d-play-libcurl/blob/master/fawcett/curl.d
There's one on dsource, here:

Graham,
I see your translation of libcurl's header is fairly complete. May I
copy it into std.etc? We wanted to put libcurl there for a long time
(Walter even exchanged emails with its author), and it would be a
timesaver to copy yours.
After we have the basic translation we should define higher-level APIs
in Phobos that cloak it (libcurl has an unsafe interface).
Thanks,
Andrei
