Great to see that you're interested in improving the Phobos library!
There already is some work being done on this.
I've created bindings for libcurl that was accepted into Phobos a
couple of days ago (see etc.c.curl module). This is the foundation of
some network client classes that I'm doing. I intent to submit this to
Phobos when I've implemented the last of the suggestions that I
received from the community earlier.
Could you give links to that suggestions?
Is your work on network-clients avaliable online?
My initial target is FTP and HTTP
support.
See:
https://github.com/jcd/phobos/blob/curl/etc/curl.d
This does have some overlap with your proposal but that doesn't have to
be a bad thing.
If this proposal gets accepted you have the libcurl bindings already as
a kickstart.
Some other options are to extend the client classes that I'm doing. Or
to implement the network server classes.
RFC compilant HTTP-server is very hard to implement, so one solution
might be to implement different protocol clients (SMTP, ...) so our
work will not overlap.
