Bug 17009 – remove etc.c.curl (and std.net.curl)

At least DConf it was announced that the plan is to remove etc.c.curl (in fact entire etc). With the "high-level" API there are many issues as well: - no response object (it's impossible to access the response for e.g. the error code or other attributes, only via low-level) - no simple support for custom header attributes - no support to build query parameters - no simple support for custom request parameter - just throws CurlException (no fine-grained control of exceptions) - post: no support for user-specified file type, no support for File or stream) - no simple support for basic auth (only via low-level) - no high-level support for streams (only ranges) (I am pretty sure this list is longer) and btw support of SSL is mandatory in 2016. In general dlang-requests looks to be a very promising replacement (it does support linking with SSL or botan too): https://github.com/ikod/dlang-requests It's modeled after the successful Python module requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/
