Thank you very much, it's very interesting.

Best regards.

Andrei asked me to rename it to std.curl so I believe it will yes.
Still working on it but not at max speed since I'm quite busy at work currently.

It's a D binding to a C library. The interface is the same.

Wrappers over these libraries should be documented, sure. But for the C interface, IMO, a link to the project homepage is sufficient. Any differences on the D side should be mentioned, of course. But that's all. Otherwise, how many examples should be given? Which functionality should be shown? libcurl, specifically, has several examples already available from the project page. Adding more to the D docs is redundant.
