Soup is a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation in C.
libsoup 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.
It provides an queued asynchronous callback-based mechanism for sending
and servicing SOAP requests, and a WSDL (Web Service Definition
Language) to C compiler which generates client stubs and server
skeletons for easily calling and implementing SOAP methods.
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
