As Jonathan M Davis said: --- Several of the main devs (including Walter) have stated that having std.net.curl on Phobos was a mistake given all of the problems that we've had with it on Windows and Linux as well, and at least some of them have expressed a desire for it to be removed. I expect that there's a good chance that it can and will be removed from Phobos if brought up for discussion.
Certainly, I think that it's clear that we will not add any further external dependencies like curl, because curl has proven to be a big problem. It's very desirable to have bindings and wrappers for C libraries - but putting them in the standard library when it's not guaranteed that the appropriate library is on the system by default has proven to be too problematic, so they should be left to external projects. --- "std.net.curl" can also be moved from Phobos to Deimos. Deimos can be rethink, i.e. new build master can add a make building script on Deimos in order to compile all projects included on it, generating "libdeimos.a" and "libdeimos.so", documentation, etc. -- Jordi Sayol
