Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the neon package.
The package description is:
neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API.
.
WARNING: THE NEON API IS NOT YET STABLE.
.
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.
.
Current features:
* 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 ofi
properties (PROPPATCH/PROPFIND).
* autoconf macros supplied for easily embedding neon directly inside an
application source tree.The package has 2 RC bugs open, the 2nd one being ridiculous IMHO since the documentation in libneon24-doc contains the license, YMMV. I have no inclination to deal with this disgusting legalese and will orphan the package if no one takes it within say 2 weeks. Note that subversion depends on libneon24 which is built from neon sources. Regards .
