neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API.

Mailing list: [email protected] || 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.
