- neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API.
-
- Mailing list: neon@webdav.org || 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.
