curl, tried "libcurl.dll", "curl.dll"

A libcurl.dll comes with the installer. It can be found by your program if it's located in the same folder as the executable or if the %PATH% environment variable contains the directory where the installer puts the DLL in. You may find this path in the environment variable but it has to match 32/64bit. If your 64bit program tries to load the 32bit variant it will fail to load. It's likely that your %PATH% environment variable contains the 32bit path (eg. for DMD `C:\install-dir\dmd2\windows\bin` but not the path to `\bin64`. So you have to adjust the environment variable or copy the DLL from this path to your program executable.

Are you running it from a WSL session? I get libcurl.dll errors (although a graphical popup) when I run my thing from in there, but it works well from a normal command console and/or Powershell.
