Name        : libmicrohttpd
Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 0.9.2
Release     : 3.fc14
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/
Summary     : Lightweight library for embedding a webserver in applications
Description :
GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make it
easy to run an HTTP server as part of another application.
Key features that distinguish libmicrohttpd from other projects are:

* C library: fast and small
* API is simple, expressive and fully reentrant
* Implementation is http 1.1 compliant
* HTTP server can listen on multiple ports
* Support for IPv6
* Support for incremental processing of POST data
* Creates binary of only 25k (for now)
* Three different threading models

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Update libmicrohttpd to latest stable release 0.9.2. This updates brings several improvements, most notably it uses the system version of GNUTLS and libtasn1.

Besides some specific features this update is API compatible. We issue an update for F-14 because it affects only a very few packages (which have been rebuilt), but the benefits in terms of faster security updates make it worth it.

This update includes the dependent package fawkes.
