I downloaded that static library. How do I link it into my D 
project?  Is it something I can put into dub.json?

It would be nice to compile my app into one EXE file including 
std.curl and curl.lib. Does nobody know how to do this?

You do not need to specify curl.lib but you have to bundle your 
executable with curl.dll.
Recent Windows 10 versions might even come with curl.dll but I am 
not 100% sure.

Kind regards

Thank you for your reply, Andre. My computer has curl.exe in the 
Windows\System32 folder, but I'm not sure I can guarantee that 
any users of my EXE will have that.

I am writing a utility program that performs FTP. According to 
the std.curl source code, curl.lib can be statically linked. Is 
that not the case?

I thought also the libcurl.dll is available but it doesn't seems 
so. The curl executable does not have any use in your case.
I am not an expert in this area but I think it should be 
possible, but I do not how.
I can only give you the advice to start with the dll approach. At 
any point later you can just switch to the static linking 
approach.
Depending on the license type of your application you might also 
check whether you are allowed to statically bind curl.

Kind regards
Andre
