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