NAME

HTTP::Soup - HTTP client/server library for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

use HTTP::Soup;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the Perl bindings for the C library libsoup.

Lisoup is an HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObjects and the glib main loop, to integrate well with GNOME applications, and also has a synchronous API, for use in threaded applications.

Libsoup is used in many GNOME projects and other software including gtk-webkit.

Features include:

  • 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

  • Client and server support for XML-RPC
