Curl is meant to transfer data and in this case, download files over 
http. It is not meant to render them via JavaScript.

If you are wanting rendering which by the sounds you are by JavaScript 
then you are entering complicated and not so nice area of programming.

You may get what you want by e.g. PhantomJS[0], of course you could set 
it up so that it could do what ever you want externally to your app. Of 
course then you would be limited to another process/files required.

This problem is not limited to D. Even in C++ you would have to think 
twice about doing this.

Of course somebody may know a better way.

And since D can talk to Python via PyD, it's not hard to embed 
phantomjs or the like as a script within your D code.
