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
