I handle request on different threads. I do some pre-processing on
scgi data and I fill a struct:

request.get[]
request.post[]
request.cookie[]
request.headers[string]

then I call a virtual function (to override on subclasses) like:

do(request, output);

where user fill output struct in a way like:

output.data ~= "<html><body><h1>hello world</h1></body></html>";
output.status = 200
output.cookies = bla bla

and then if is method != "head" i send headers + data, else just
"headers".

btw 99% of usage is get, post, head.

Yes, but if you want to write a web site that is RESTful you need the other HTTP methods as well, at least PUT and DELETE.

BTW, what about creating something like Rack but for D. Rack is a low level interface in front of the web server which web frameworks can be built on top.

Yes, this is exactly why I was wondering whether FastCGI had been implemented (though SCGI works for me as well) - so that I could write something on top of it, in much the same way I would using (for example) WSGI in Python.

I also agree with you re: supporting all of the HTTP methods. Just because the most common ones are GET, POST, and HEAD doesn't mean we should leave out the others; both PUT and DELETE are quite useful.
