Let's say I can't store information into files.
Is it possible to download a file into an array.

This is what I have now. It saves a download into a file named: file.txt

Also run.dlang.io seems to be blocking and not letting me to run curl requests. I'm feeling sad right now.

Yes, use get:

import std.net.curl;

void main()
{
    char[] content = get("https://gist.githubusercontent.com/deekayen/4148741/raw/98d35708fa344717d8eee15d11987de6c8e26d7d/1-1000.txt");

On 64 bits you don't even get a stack trace or description.
Sad, i know.
If you want better i could recommend you to compile with -g and hook up a debugger, then just let it run and it should triger a breakpoint on 0xC0000009(access violation).

Well, that's an option, for those who want and are knowledgeable to debug ;)

Anyhow, compiling it with dmd -v -g results in

λ  .\curl_get.exe

It's hard to give proper error backtraces without debug information (-g).
Anyways, I can reproduce the error when compiling with -m32 (the default), using -m32mscoff and -m64 works as expected. You should probably avoid -m32 in general (as dub does btw).

for what it's worth...

due to license restrictions and costs we are not allowed to have the MS toolchain installed on our office clients... tried it now @HOME with the '-m64' switch anabled, as suggested by you, and can confirm, it also "just works"...
