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