Package: libsoup-gnome2.4-1 Source: libsoup2.4 Version: 2.70.0-1ubuntu0.5 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers Installed-Size: 49 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.58), libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.41.90) Section: libs Priority: optional Multi-Arch: same Homepage: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/libsoup Description: HTTP library implementation in C -- GNOME support library 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). . The GNOME support library is used for features which are important to GNOME apps, but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps may not want to add dependencies on. . 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 . This package contains the GNOME support shared library. Original-Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers
