- Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part
- of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but
- the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages.
-
- libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK
- applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers
- on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to
- the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also
- supported for those who want it).
-
- Features:
-   * Completely Asynchronous
-   * Connection cache
-   * HTTP chunked transfer support
-   * HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 authenticated proxy support
-   * SSL Support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS
-   * Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication
-   * HTTP server
-   * Server support for Digest and Basic authentication"
