Name        : libsoup
Product     : Fedora 15
Version     : 2.33.92
Release     : 2.fc15
URL         : http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup
Summary     : Soup, an HTTP library implementation
Description :
Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part
of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but
the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages.

libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK
applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers
on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to
the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also
supported for those who want it).

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

A libsoup release to go with GNOME 2.91.92.
* Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on having glib-networking installed.)
* Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the "gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
* Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576]
* SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048]
* Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs (file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
* SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very distant dates [#643462]
* Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and restarted requests. Added some new tests to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific (unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get broken in the future.
* Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken). [#645227]
