README

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

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 git have some more complicated examples.
