| 1 | Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part |
|---|
| 2 | of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but |
|---|
| 3 | the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages. |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK |
|---|
| 6 | applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers |
|---|
| 7 | on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to |
|---|
| 8 | the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also |
|---|
| 9 | supported for those who want it). |

| 11 | Features: |
|---|
| 12 | * Completely Asynchronous |
|---|
| 13 | * Connection cache |
|---|
| 14 | * HTTP chunked transfer support |
|---|
| 15 | * HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 authenticated proxy support |
|---|
| 16 | * SSL Support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS |
|---|
| 17 | * Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication |
|---|
| 18 | * HTTP server |
|---|
