# 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.
