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 and XML-RPC support
