I downloaded the script and made it executable. I also have dub 
on `/usr/bin/dub` . The example just stalls with no output. After 
fidgeting around for 5 minutes I realized it was downloading 
silently in the background. (I think for homepage examples, they 
should be running in verbose mode as this is probably the first 
touchpoint for a new D user)

Now, i have this error:

$ ./webserver.d
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: cannot find -lssl
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error: /usr/bin/gcc failed with status: 1
/usr/bin/ldc2 failed with exit code 1.

System: Ubuntu 18.04

Should dub take care of those for installation? Or, maybe the 
example is best run with a docker image of dmd/ldc compiler.

You need the libssl-dev package installed first, it contains the 
libraries that ld is complaining it can't find. As far as I know 
that's not within dub's scope to worry about.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

 sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Then don't you think these thing should be mentioned with the 
examples? It looks very bad(and is, since it wastes peoples time) 
to give an example that has dependencies and they are not 
mentioned, nor is the method to make it all work).

You can add that mention. Post the PR link here.

Those linker errors are easy to Google. OpenSSL is a basic 
building block for major OSes, not like it requires some obscure 
stupid dependency.

Dlang is not Basic nor PHP, don't wanna sound like a precious 
little prick, but some things just need to be said!
