neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API. Bindings for other languages may also be available, see the web site for more details. Mailing list: neon@webdav.org || Web site: http://www.webdav.org/neon/ WARNING: THE NEON API IS NOT YET STABLE. Current features: - High-level interface to HTTP and WebDAV methods. - Low-level interface to HTTP request handling, to allow implementing new methods easily. - Persistent connection support (HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 aware) - Basic and digest authentication (RFC2617) (including auth-int, md5-sess) - Proxy support (including basic/digest authentication) - SSL/TLS support using OpenSSL (including client certificate support) - Generic WebDAV 207 XML response handling mechanism - XML parsing using expat or libxml (1.x or 2.x) parser - Easy generation of error messages from 207 error responses - Basic HTTP/1.1 methods: GET, PUT, HEAD, OPTIONS, conditional PUT - WebDAV resource manipulation: MOVE, COPY, DELETE, MKCOL. - WebDAV metadata support: set and remove properties (PROPPATCH), query any set of properties (PROPFIND). - Autoconf macros supplied for easily embedding neon directly inside an application source tree. Provides lower-level interfaces to directly implement new HTTP methods, and higher-level interfaces so that you don't have to worry about the lower-level stuff. neon is licensed under the GNU LGPL; see COPYING.LIB for full details. neon is Copyright (C) 1999-2001 Joe Orton Portions are: Copyright (C) 1999-2000 Tommi Komulainen <Tommi.Komulainen@iki.fi> Copyright (C) 1999 Eric S.
