libneon

Neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C interface. Featuring:

  • High-level interface to HTTP and WebDAV methods (PUT, GET, HEAD etc)
  • Low-level interface to HTTP request handling, to allow implementing new methods easily.
  • Persistent connections
  • RFC2617 basic and digest authentication (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 the expat or libxml parsers
  • Easy generation of error messages from 207 error responses
  • WebDAV resource manipulation: MOVE, COPY, DELETE, MKCOL.
  • WebDAV metadata support: set and remove properties, query any set of properties (PROPPATCH/PROPFIND).
  • Autoconf macros supplied for easily embedding neon directly inside an application source tree.
