Package Name: libsoup3 Version: 3.0.4 Upstream Author: Ximian, Novell, Red Hat, etc. License: LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: C Description: HTTP library implementation in C -- Development files 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 Other Info -------------- This library will be maintained by the Debian GNOME team. Packaging is at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/libsoup3 libsoup3 will be needed to fully build GNOME 43 later this year. This is a complex major transition and libsoup2.4 will need to remain in Debian for a while until all reverse dependencies are ported.
