My D curl wrapper (hopefully soon to be obsolete by a std.curl thing)
does it this way:

string response = curl(url); // does a GET on the url

string response = curl(url, some_post_data); // does a POST

string response = curl(url, some_post_data, post_content_type); // POST with a
special content type

string response = curlAuth(url, null, username, password); // auth GET

 = curlAuth(url, some_post_data, username, password); // authed POST



That way, most common scenarios are handled by very simple calls.

That API is not far from the one I'm working on for etc.curl. I'm 
currently implementing the suggestions from the last round of reviews 
and it will probably be ready for the official review queue after that.
