+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
