neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API. Mailing list: neon@lists.manyfish.co.uk || Web site: http://www.webdav.org/neon/ PLEASE NOTE: The neon API is subject to backwards-incompatible change over minor releases (0.23.x -> 0.24.x) until the 1.0.0 release, but maintains source and binary backwards compatibility through patch releases (0.24.0 -> 0.24.7). 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). - WebDAV locking support - 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.
