1 libsoup is an HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObjects
2 and the glib main loop, to integrate well with GNOME applications.
5 * Both asynchronous (GMainLoop and callback-based) and synchronous APIs
6 * Automatically caches connections
8 * Proxy support, including authentication and SSL tunneling
9 * Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication
10 * Server support for Digest and Basic authentication
13 See the documentation in docs/reference/ and the test programs in
14 tests/ for simple examples of how to use the code. The
15 evolution-data-server and evolution-exchange modules in GNOME CVS have
16 some more complicated examples.
