Paket: libsoup-3.0-doc (3.6.1-1)

HTTP library implementation in C -- API Reference

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:

 * Both asynchronous (GMainLoop and callback-based) and synchronous APIs
 * Automatically caches connections
 * SSL Support using GnuTLS
 * Proxy support, including authentication and SSL tunneling
 * Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication
 * Server support for Digest and Basic authentication
 * Basic client-side SOAP support
