Soup is a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation in C.
It provides a queued asynchronous callback-based mechanism for sending and
servicing SOAP requests, and a WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) for C
compilers which generates client stubs and server skeletons for easily
calling and implementing SOAP methods. It uses GLib and is designed to work
well with GTK applications.
Features:
* Completely Asynchronous
* Connection cache
* HTTP chunked transfer and persistent connections
* Authenticated HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxy support
* SSL Support using OpenSSL
* Apache module server support
* Client digest authentication
===> The following configuration options are available for libsoup-2.74.3_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
SMB=on: SMB network protocol support
====> GSSAPI Security API support: you have to select exactly one of them
GSSAPI_BASE=on: GSSAPI support via base system (needs Kerberos)
GSSAPI_HEIMDAL=off: GSSAPI support via security/heimdal
GSSAPI_MIT=off: GSSAPI support via security/krb5
GSSAPI_NONE=off: Disable GSSAPI support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
libsoup can use NTLM authentication if it is compiled
with the SMB option. To use it, you must install a
port that provides NTLM, like net/samba412 or net/samba413.
