Let $X$ be a set and let $d:X\times X\rightarrow [0,\infty)$ satisfy all the axioms of a metric besides symmetry (i.e.: $d$ is a quasi-metric). Define a topology $\tau_{d:+}$ on $X$ induced by $d$ as generated by the sub-basic open sets $\{U_{\epsilon,x}\}_{x \in X,\epsilon>0}$ where: $$ U_{\epsilon,x}:= \left\{ y \in X:\, d(x,y)<\epsilon \right\}. $$
Are there any major differences between this type of "asymmetric metric" topology and those topologies generated by regular metrics?
Details of what I mean:
The positive definite axiom, for me, looks like this: $d(x,y)=0 \Leftarrow x=y$; but the converse may fail. Here, I can at-least imagine that the Hausdorff property may be damaged, but I can't make things concrete...
Are such topologies $T_6$ (i.e.: perfectly normal Hausdorff spaces) or do they satisfy some more basic separation axioms?
Note: Is there a good reference that discusses such constructions in some depth?
