This page and the long (and partially wrong) D2 entry: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Web_scraping#D shows that probably Phobos needs a simple function to download a whole HTML page given just the URL. It's a common basic need. See the Python version: import urllib page = urllib.urlopen("http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl")

bearophile: Can you close this now that we have the high-level cURL interface? D version: import std.net.curl; void main() { auto page = get("http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl"); }
