Name        : libsoup
Product     : Fedora 11
Version     : 2.26.3
Release     : 1.fc11
URL         : http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup
Summary     : Soup, an HTTP library implementation
Description :
Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. 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).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The latest stable upstream release of libsoup.  From the release announcement:
* Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which            is a
bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be            used by gvfsd-
ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.            [#580051]            * Fixed
SoupSession to not try to resolve http server            hostnames when it's
just going to pass the hostname off to a            proxy server anyway. This
fixes things on hosts that use a            proxy for everything and have no
working DNS config            [#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more
like other            browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP            address).
* libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for            https
URIs, to work around problems with older servers that            don't implement
the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL            compatibility rules
correctly. Makes a bunch of            previously-inaccessible sites now
accessible in WebKitGTK            (notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually
be revisited, to            first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
* Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.            [#583091]
* Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works            a bit.
We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a            request, even if we
know for sure that it's going to fail,            because this makes the
semantics of the authenticate handler            too complicated (and because
we'll only get into this            situation if a previous call to the
authenticate handler            failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when
you cancel            a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha            Silva].
* Fix a few small bugs that affected various web sites: the            handling
of 301 responses to POST to match web browsers            [#586692], and the use
of Content-Length in empty POST            requests.            * Applied some
minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh            [#583911, #583942].
Fixed configure.in to not use gcc            warning options that the installed
version of gcc doesn't            recognize [#578851].            * Added
G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few            methods that should
have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
