| 1 | Soup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part of |
|---|
| 2 | a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation, but the SOAP |
|---|
| 3 | code was later removed (and then later partially reimplemented...) |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | Soup uses GObjects and the glib main loop, and is designed to work |
|---|
| 6 | well with Gtk/GNOME applications. This enables GNOME applications to |
|---|
| 7 | access HTTP servers on the network in a completely asynchronous |
|---|
| 8 | fashion, very similar to the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous |
|---|
| 9 | operation mode is also supported for those who want it). |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | Soup also contains code to implement an HTTP/1.1 server. |
|---|

| 13 | Features: |
|---|
| 14 | * (Optionally) completely asynchronous |
|---|
| 15 | * Automatically caches connections |
|---|
| 16 | * SSL Support using GnuTLS |
|---|
| 17 | * Proxy support, including authentication and SSL tunneling |
|---|
| 18 | * Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication |
|---|
| 19 | * Server support for Digest and Basic authentication |

|---|
| 22 | code, or evolution-data-server and evolution-exchange for more |
|---|
| 23 | complicated examples. |
