Note:
You may need to link with the $(B curl) library, e.g. by adding $(D "libs": ["curl"])
to your $(B dub.json) file if you are using $(LINK2 http://code.dlang.org, DUB).

Windows x86 note:
A DMD compatible libcurl static library can be downloaded from the dlang.org
$(LINK2 https://downloads.dlang.org/other/index.html, download archive page).

This module is not available for iOS, tvOS or watchOS.

Compared to using libcurl directly, this module allows simpler client code for
common uses, requires no unsafe operations, and integrates better with the rest
of the language. Furthermore it provides $(MREF_ALTTEXT range, std,range)
access to protocols supported by libcurl both synchronously and asynchronously.

A high level and a low level API are available. The high level API is built
entirely on top of the low level one.

The high level API is for commonly used functionality such as HTTP/FTP get. The
$(LREF byLineAsync) and $(LREF byChunkAsync) functions asynchronously
perform the request given, outputting the fetched content into a $(MREF_ALTTEXT range, std,range).

The low level API allows for streaming, setting request headers and cookies, and other advanced features.

Example:
---
import std.net.curl, std.stdio;

// Return a char[] containing the content specified by a URL
auto content = get("dlang.org");

// Post data and return a char[] containing the content specified by a URL
auto content = post("mydomain.com/here.cgi", ["name1" : "value1", "name2" : "value2"]);

// Get content of file from ftp server
auto content = get("ftp.digitalmars.com/sieve.ds");

// Post and print out content line by line. The request is done in another thread.
foreach (line; byLineAsync("dlang.org", "Post data"))
    writeln(line);

// Get using a line range and proxy settings
auto client = HTTP();
client.proxy = "1.2.3.4";
foreach (line; byLine("dlang.org", client))
    writeln(line);
---

For more control than the high level functions provide, use the low level API:

Example:
---
import std.net.curl, std.stdio;

// GET with custom data receivers
auto http = HTTP("dlang.org");
http.onReceiveHeader =
    (in char[] key, in char[] value) { writeln(key, ": ", value); };
http.onReceive = (ubyte[] data) { /+ drop +/ return data.length; };
http.perform();
---

First, an instance of the reference-counted HTTP struct is created. Then the
custom delegates are set. These will be called whenever the HTTP instance
receives a header and a data buffer, respectively. In this simple example, the
headers are written to stdout and the data is ignored. If the request is
stopped before it has finished then return something less than data.length from
the onReceive callback. See $(LREF onReceiveHeader)/$(LREF onReceive) for more
information. Finally, the HTTP request is performed by calling perform(), which is
synchronous.
