Hi all,
n00b here, I have a project built with vibe using dub that is working perfectly. Now I need to implement a different tool (that will periodically run from crontab) and I would like to use vibe.http.client.requestHTTP to make some GET requests from the script. Is it possible? How? Should I compile vibe as a library? If yes, how?
Any suggestion is more than welcome,

I would just use DUB to build a binary (using dub build). The binary
will have vibe.d statically linked in, so that doesn't need to be built
or deployed separately. For a short-living command line tool, you will
also probably want to specify "versions": ["VibeCustomMain"] in the
project's dub.json and then define your own main() function: 

void main()
{
	import vibe.http.client;
	requestHTTP(...);
}

alternatively (with "VibeDefaultMain") it would currently be necessary
to explicitly call exitEventLoop(): 

shared static this()
{
	import vibe.core.core;
	import vibe.http.client;

	runTask({
		requestHTTP(...);
		exitEventLoop();
	});
}

Hope this helps.
