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

std.net.curl.CurlException@std\net\curl.d(4239): Failed to load curl, tried "libcurl.dll", "curl.dll"

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.

Are you running it from a WSL session? I get libcurl.dll errors (although a graphical popup) when I run my thing from in there, but it works well from a normal command console and/or Powershell.
