Just an idea: would it be possible/useful to use the

This would be most useful if there were some kind of main
loop. This is
needed because the request is done in another thread and the
response
should be handled in the main thread. Without an main loop in
the main
thread or a destinct call to e.g. a poll() method the
signal/slot s
would not work.
I don't know if you already have a solution in the works, but
maybe the future interface I did for Thrift is similar to what
you are looking for:

I don't have any plans for this in the curl stuff. But it is
something like your future implementation and a builtin mainloop
I think would make async programming much easier in D.
