Hi,
So I've been working a bit on the etc.curl module. Currently most of
the HTTP functionality is done and some very simple Ftp.
I would very much like to know if this has a chance of getting in phobos
if I finish it with the current design. If not then it will be for my
own project only and doesn't need as much documentation or all the features.
https://github.com/jcd/phobos/tree/curl
I do know that the error handling is currently not good enough... WIP.

Hi,
So I've spent some time trying to wrap libcurl for D. There is a lot of
things that you can do with libcurl which I did not know so I'm starting
out small.
For now I've created all the declarations for the latest public curl C
api. I have put that in the etc.c.curl module.
On top of that I've created a more D like api as seen below. This is
located in the 'etc.curl' module. What you can see below currently works
but before proceeding further down this road I would like to get your
comments on it.

writeln(key ~ ":" ~ value);

auto l = msg.length;
data[0..l] = msg[0..$];
msg.length = 0;
return l;
},
HttpMethod.put, len );
http.perform;

writeln(Http.get("https://mail.google.com";).content);
//
// FTP
//
writeln(Ftp.get("ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/sieve.ds";,

// ... authenication, cookies, interface select, progress callback
// etc. is also implemented this way.
