neon

neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C
interface. Features:

• High-level wrappers for common HTTP and WebDAV operations (GET,
  MOVE, DELETE, etc)

Low-level interface to the HTTP request/response engine, allowing
the use of arbitrary HTTP methods, headers, etc.

• Authentication support including Basic and Digest support, along
  with GSSAPI-based Negotiate on Unix, and SSPI-based Negotiate/NTLM on
  Win32
• SSL/TLS support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS; exposing an abstraction
  layer for verifying server certificates, handling client
  certificates, and examining certificate properties. Smartcard-based
  client certificates are also supported via a PKCS#11 wrapper
  interface.
• Abstract interface to parsing XML using libxml2 or expat, and
  wrappers for simplifying handling XML HTTP response bodies
• WebDAV metadata support; wrappers for PROPFIND and PROPPATCH to
  simplify property manipulation.

neon is
free software,
distributed under the
GNU Library GPL.

Patches, feature requests, bug reports,
questions etc. can be
sent to
the neon mailing list (for
which a web
archive is also available). The neon-commits
list receives commit messages from the Subversion repository.
