[ddp] libwww-dev : The W3C WWW library - development files

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package libwww-dev, which is
part of the libdevel section, and maintained by Richard Atterer
<atterer at debian.org>. 

This package contains : The W3C WWW library - development files.

libwww is a highly modular, general-purpose client side Web API
written in C for Unix and Windows (Win32). It's well suited for
both small and large applications, like browser/editors, robots,
batch tools, etc. Pluggable modules provided with libwww include
complete HTTP/1.1 (with caching, pipelining, PUT, POST, Digest
Authentication, deflate, etc), MySQL logging, FTP, HTML/4,
XML (expat), RDF (SiRPAC), and much more.

Unlike other libraries for web access, libwww can use a single
select() loop to wait for multiple simultaneous connections. With
glibwww, the libwww event loop can be integrated into the glib event
loop, making it very easy to develop cross-platform GTK+ web
applications.

It is quite difficult to write programs that use libwww, due to its
complexity. If you do not need its advanced features, have a look at
libcurl.
